 Stratch the chord G(listen to song for rhythm)
 I degree  today that life  is simply taking  and not giving
 England is  mine and  it owes me a living
 But ask me why  and i'll spit  in your eye
 Oh ask  me why and  i'll spit in your eye
 But we  cannot cling  to the old  dreams anymore
 No we  cannot cling  to those dreams.
 Does the body  rule mind?
 or does the mind  rule the body?
 i dunno...
 Under the iron  bridge  we kissed
 and although i  ended up with  sore lips
 It just wasnt like  the old days anymore
 No it  wasnt like  those days
 Am  i still ill?
 Does the body  rule the mind
 or does the mind  rule the body?
 I dunno...
 Ask me why  and I'll die
 oh ask  me why and  I'll die
 and if you must  go to work  tomorrow
 well if I  were you I  wouldn't bother
 for there are brighter  sides to life
 and I should know because I've seen them
 but not very often
Under the  iron bridge  we kissed
 and although i  ended up with  sore lips
 It just wasnt like  the old days anymore
 No it  wasnt like  those days
 Am  i still ill?
