Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
pushing thru' the market square
so many mother sighing
News had just come over
We had five years left ti cry in
News guy wept and told us
earth eas really dying
Cried so much, his face was wet
Then i knew he was not lying.
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and T.V's
My brain hurt like a ware house, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store ev'ry thing in there
And all the fat skinny people
And all the tall short people
And all the nobody people
And all the somebody people
I never thought i'd need so many people
A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the black had not puled her off
I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his state to the wheels of a Cadilac
A cop Knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at at the sight of that
I think i saw you in an ice cream parlour
Drinking milkshakes cold and long
smiling and waving and looking so fine
Don't think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold, and it rained, so i felt like an actor
And i thoought of Ma, and i wanted to get back there
Your face, Your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautifull, I want you to walk. we got
five years stuck on my eyes
five years what a surprise we got
five years my brain hurts a lot
five years that's all we got we've got
