GIRLS & BOYS
(One chord sequence throughout= Gm C F
Eb F#/F)
Streets like a jungle
So call the police
Following the herd
Down to Greece
on holiday
Love in the 90's
Is paranoid
On sunny beaches
Take your chances, looking for
GIRLS WHO ARE BOYS
WHO LIKE BOYS TO BE GIRLS
WHO DO BOYS LIKE THEY'RE GIRLS
WHO DO GIRLS LIKE THEY'RE BOYS
ALWAYS SHOULD BE SOMEONE YOU REALLY LOVE
Avoiding all work
Cos there's none available
Like battery thinkers
Count their thoughts on 1 2 3 4 5 fingers
Nothing is wasted
Only reproduced
You get nasty blisters
Du bist sehr schon
But we haven't been introduced

I get up when I want, except on Wednesdays when I get rudely awaken
by the
dustmen
I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea, and I think about leaving the
house
I feed the pigeons, I sometimes feed the sparrows too it gives me a
sense of
enormous well being
And then I'm happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge there
will
always be a bit of my heart devoted to it
Chorus
It's got nothing to do with your Vorsprung
Durch Technic you know
And it's got nothing to do with you joggers who go round and round and
round

LONDON LOVES
G A G A
A melody has taken him over
G A G A
Coughing tar in his Japanese motor
G A
The lights are magic
G A
So he'll be lucky
G A
And he's got money
G
He'll shoot like an arrow
A Bm F#m
London loves
A Bm F#m
The mystery of a speeding car
A Bm F#m
London loves
A Bm F#m F
The misery of a speeding heart
It's Love-U-Like and everyone's at it
But words are cheap and his mind is elastic
He loves the violence
Keeps ticking over
So sleep together
Before today is sold forever
A Bm F#m
London loves
A Bm F#m
The way people just fall apart
A Bm F#m
London loves
A Bm F#m
The way we just don't stand a chance
A Bm F#m F
The misery of a speeding heart

C#m B A
I'm on the white cliffs of Dover
C#m E A
Thinking it over and over
C#m B A
But if I jump its all over
C#m E A B
A cautionary tale for you
I love to roll in the clover
With you over and over
On the white cliffs of Dover
And then I'd let you push me over
C#m B A G#m F#m(sus4) F#
And if that is the fact then in actual fact it's not where it's at and
it's
B C
over
(Repeat)
And now the bluebirds are over
The white cliffs of Dover
So when you push me over
Don't bury me I'm not worth anything
