Billys Smart Circus

[Em]To die for his mother country

isn't every [C]fathers wish

But if you're [D]ever feeling hungry

[Em]feast your eyes on this

[Em]Bullied beat up cabbaged kids

to be [C]patched up by the nurse

[D]who's carrying the baggage in

[Em]for the private patients first

([Em], [C], [D], [Em])
([Em], [C], [D], [Em])

[Em]and the doctor's praying to Buddha

[C]"Send me to another town!"

[D]A shovelful of sugar

won't help that [Em]medicine go down

[Em]As the actress said to the bishop

[C]I stand accused your Grace

of the [D]seven deadly cynicisms

and a [Em]total lack of faith

[G]And if I put this [C]gun against my [D]head [Bm]

[G]and pull the [C]trigger I'll be [D]dead

[G]But if I [C]listen to my [D]heart

it say's [Bm]Billy that ain't [G]smart

so I'll do [C]something else [D]instead

[Em](Billy's smart, Bily's smart, circus for the bleeding hearts
feed the world, heal the sick, take the piss out of the shit
live your life without a net, stick your head down a lion's neck
and listen to the people cheer send in the clowns
don't bother they're here)

[Em]To die for his mother's country

isn't every[C] fathers wish

But if you're [D]ever feeling hungry

[Em]feast your eyes on this

[Em]under funded O.A.P.s

[C]turn to life of crime

[D]The great cucumber robberies of [Em]1989

[Em]Send 'em down and bang 'em up

in a [C]South London maisonette

[D]unlicensed and unregistered

it shouldn't [Em]happen to a vet

[Em]As the actress said to the bishop

[C]the Rabbi and the Priest

[D]My eyes have seen the glory

[Em]I'm a born again atheist

[G]And if I put this [C]gun against my [D]head [Bm]

[G]and pull the [C]trigger I'll be [D]dead

[G]But if I [C]listen to my [D]heart

[Bm]it say's Billy that ain't [G]smart

so I'll shoot [C]someone else [D]instead

[G]And if I put this [C]gun against my [D]head [Bm]

[G]and pull the [C]trigger I'll be [D]dead

[G]But if I [C]listen to my [D]heart

[Bm]it say's Billy that ain't [G]smart

so I'll shoot [C]someone else [D]instead

[Em]Goodbye
