Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
In Arcady, your life trips along
It's pure and simple as the shepherd's song
Seraphic pipes along the way in Arcady
In Arcady
Never saw I such a scene
Such maids upon such a molten green
They employ their holiday with dance and game
And things I may never name
In Arcady
You said he was your teacher
Taught you so true and so wise
But now you know more than your teacher
I see nothing but cool self-regard in your eyes
In Arcady
So you see how twisted it becomes
See how quickly twisted it becomes
When the cat gut binds my ankles to your bedstead
That ain't love, no that ain't love
Said he was your teacher
Taught you so true and so wise
Now you know more than your teacher
I see nothing but cool self-regard in your eyes
In Arcady, your life trips along
Pure and simple as the shepherd's song
Seraphic pipes along the way in Arcady
in Arcady
in Arcady
in Arcady
in Arcady
2.Last of the english roses
Oh my you did look dapper in your mothers old green scarf
with your famous Aunty, Arthurs trousers on
Got slapped by that slapper and we all laughed
But she laughed the loudest in 93
"Saucy" you'd say and we all fell around, rolling 'round the playground,
"Cheeky" you'd say and we all fell around, rolling 'round the playground.
In 94
Charm the bees knees off the bees
Skipping and dancing hand in hand
Yeah it was all the boys together
and all the girls together
She's the last of the english ro-oses
She's the last of the english ro-oses
She knows her Rodneys from her Stanleys and her Kappas from her Reebok
And her tit from her tat and her Winstons from her Enoks
And round the Snooker table she danced the Frutti-Tutti
And she almost spilled her lager toasting girls of great beauty
2009 comin of age, comin alive
Yeah it was all the boys together
and all the girls together
She's the last of the english ro-oses
She's the last of the english ro-oses

Captured clandestine
Crawled into the lights
He knew he was in for a shoeing
Just wasn't to be his night
Dragged out of the frozen Rhine
For the Motherland and the Third Reich
A toeing's as good as a shoeing
When it's not to be your night
Tread carefully, so carefully
Upon the drifting ice
Caught behind enemy lines
In 1939
For Germany he sacrificed his life
Caught behind enemy lines
There in 1939

Kids knee-deep in rubble
London urchins grey with dust
Packed off ours in evacuations
To farmers' wives
Green and pleasant lives
Far from the doodlebugs
Nanna Doll she still remembers
Leaving town in worn-out shoes
Now she's back out west in sheltered accommodations
Homes for the old where pills aren't the only blues
Tread carefully, so carefully
Upon the drifting ice
Staring blank into the TV guide
In 2009
How it's hurting me, I've only seen her twice
Since you went west for the second time
Since 1939

4.A Little Death Around The Eyes
A little death around the eyes
Your boyfriend's name was Dave
But I was bold and brave
And now you're mine
You'll cook and clean and sew when I tell you to
When I ask you to
If I ask you to
Then I want you to
You don't need telling twice with me
No you don't need telling twice
You know who wears the trousers
No one wears the trousers
(In a nutshell)
To break free
Yeah well, you'll never break free of me
Your boyfriend's name was Dave
But I was bold and brave
And now you're mine
You'll cook and clean and sew when I tell you to
And you'll dance and screw when I want you to
In the hotel room you take your medicine
On all fours that's your medicine
You're feeling better, son?
(Filling in the cracks)
Feeling any better, son?
(In a nutshell
I'll wish upon a star)
Some vague idea of a man you used to be
Of the man you used to be to me
(Filling in the cracks)
Fee fi fo fum
Smell the blood of an Englishman
Be he alive or be he dead
(Filling in the cracks)
(Wish upon a star)
A little death around the eyes
5.Salome
Chords
In the cold, coldest of nights
The fire I light, to warm my bones
Oh love, had enough, of the dreadful cold
And from the flames, appears Salome
I stand before her amazed
As she dances and demands
The head of john the baptist on a plate
In the morning, shaken and disturbed
From under soft white fur
I see the dust in the morning bright she sets the room alight
And by the telly appears Salome
I sit up amazed
As she dances and demands
The head of John the Baptist on a plate
Oh, It's Salome
Oh, It's Salome
In the cold, coldest of nights
The fire I light, to warm my bones
Oh love, had enough, of the dreadful cold
And from the flames, appears Salome
I stand before her amazed
As she dances and demands
The head of any bastard on a plate
6.I Am The Rain
A 002220 or 577655
I am the rain held in disdain, lotions and potions just add to my fame
When Im not in Spain, I fall on the plain
The truth is Im ruthless I cant be contained
Im the rain
My friend the wind, with breath he is twinned
Blow high or low high tornadoes to spin
My mother the cloud, in widows black shroud
Gives birth to the earth before fields can be ploughed
Up in the sky weve demand to supply
I am necessity, base of the recipe
Im the rain
My cousin the snow lays blankets below
States that her flakes are just threads to be sewn
My rival the sun, it ripens the plum
Is feared and revealed it gives sight to the gun
Up in the sky weve demands to supply
I am necessity, base of the recipe
Up in the sky weve demands to supply
I am necessity, base of the recipe
I, Im the rain, Im the rain
(faster)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
.
(slower)
I am the rain, whos held in disdain
The truth is Im ruthless I cant be contained
7.Sweet By And By
Was it so long ago?
When we first hit the road
I remember
Those earlier shows
When we used to go
ba ba da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Was it so long ago,
When you said you loved me so
And we kisses untold
Your love wouldn't fall
Oh my where did you go
Oh I don't know
You didn't say goodbye
Where did you go?
Oh you lie,
And you left me wandering, wondering
if love's just a lie
left me wondering if you've found some other guy
Well all I do is hang my head and cry
Sometimes I moan, sometimes I moan
Where did you go
Oh I don't know
You didn't say goodbye
Where did you go
I don't know, left me wondering
If loves just a lie
Everywhere I go people say
"Who's that funny guy?
All he does is hang his head and cries"
Sometimes he moans, sometimes he moans
Oh, Oh why?
When we used to go

8.Palace Of Bone
&913;m 002210
We've been a long time together
Time together on a snakey road
There ain't no time spent together
Like time spent together on a snakey road
Winding on through the hills together
Winding on that snakey road
Winding on forever
Winding on that snakey road
What's that they're telling you,
Your future? I'm telling you
They're gonna pick your pocket too
We've been a long time together
Time together on a snakey road
There ain't no time spent together
Like time spent together on a snakey road
Winding on through the hills together
Winding on that snakey road
Winding on forever
Winding on that snakey road
What's that they're selling you,
Lotions, potions? I'm telling you
They're gonna pick your pocket or two
And in the clearing...
MAIN RIFF (see bottom of tab)
I'm going to build me a palace of bone
With wide open walls and an ebony throne
And all the broken children
From every broken home
MAIN RIFF
Can all come and live in the palace of bone
Am C C/B, occasionally mixed up with BREAK RIFF (see bottom of tab)
MAIN RIFF (see bottom of tab)
I'm going to build me a palace of bone

There ain't no blackened heart
No innocent soul

9.Sheepskin Tearaway
10.Broken Love Song
Take a broken love song, keep it by your side
Never be lonely, find a place to hide
By the west way, inside the scrubs
How long must we wait, for they're killing us? Killing us
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
Still
Through my cell window, hear the loft boys sing
Come on you R's, carried on the wind
Every morning, I'll be singing like a caged bird who might say
John, Paul, George and Ringo help pass the hours away
Free as a bird would I be, another dawn creeps up on me on me
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
Letters from faceless haters who'd love to see my swinging in my cell
Oh I never saw a man who looked like such a wistful eye,
as the fear of blue prisoners call the sky
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
Still
11.New Love Grows on Trees
Are you still talking to
All of those dead film stars
Like you used to
And are you still thinking of
All of those pretty rhymes
And perfect crimes
Like you used to love
And if you're still alive
When you're twenty five
Shall I kill you like you asked me to
If you're still alive
When you're twenty five
Shall I kill you I know you told me to
But I really don't want to
I still remember all of the things you said to me
You were the man and I was Calvary
And you said, ah you said
New love grows on trees
New love grows on trees
New love grows on... new love grows on trees
That makes perfect nonsense to me
But the price of being free these days its ridiculous
Are you still shaking out
All the dead wood from your bed love
Well times don't change and you're still thinking of
All of those pretty rhymes for love divine
Oh no, you really don't have to
If you're still alive
When you're twenty five
Shall I kill you
Oh I know you asked me to
But I really don't want to
I still remember all of the things you said to me
You were the man and I was Calvary
And you said, ah you said
New love grows on trees
New love grows on trees
New love grows on... new love grows on trees
12.Lady don't Fall Backwards
(x3434x) aug5(xx4332)
...once upon a time...
when the cold wind now blows,
and the cold wind now blows in my heart
it was a summer breeze
and she would meet me
in chinatown for opium and tea
and she always brought me flowers....(continue)
I see your eyes look like two marbles in your head
But Lady don't you fall backwards
Come on fall into my arms.......
°7(xx4545)
if darkness comes Then I will sing you a song
And I will love you forever At least 'til morning comes
Lady don't you fall backwards
°7
Come on and fall into my arms
Come on and fall into my arms

11.New Love Grows on Trees
[E]Are[Am] you[D] still talking to
All of those dead film stars
Like you used to
And are you still thinking of
All of those pretty rhymes
And perfect crimes
Like you used to love
And if you're still alive
When you're twenty five
Shall I kill you like you asked me to
If you're still alive
When you're twenty five
Shall I kill you I know you told me to
But I really don't want to
[G]I s[A]til[E]l remember all of the things you said to me
You were the man and I was Calvary
And you said, ah you said
New love grows on trees
New love grows on trees
New love grows on... new love grows on trees
[E] [Am] [D]
[Abm]That [C#m]makes[F#] per[B]fec[C]t n[B]onsense to me
But the price of being free these days its ridiculous
[E]Are[Am] you[D] still shaking out
All the dead wood from your bed love
Well times don't change and you're still thinking of
All of those pretty rhymes for love divine
Oh no, you really don't have to
If you're still alive
When you're twenty five
Shall I kill you
Oh I know you asked me to
But I really don't want to
[G]I s[A]til[E]l remember all of the things you said to me
You were the man and I was Calvary
And you said, ah you said
New love grows on trees
New love grows on trees
New love grows on... new love grows on trees
