[Verse]
Am Dm Am E Am
Nicky my child he stands there with the wind in his hair
Am Dm Am E Am
Wondering whether the water the wind or the where
Am Dm Am E7 Am
I fear that someday he might ask me if mine is to blame
Am Dm Am E Am
And I've got no reply save to tell him it's all just a game
Am Dm Am E Am
And Heather and I lay together and I was in love
Am Dm Am E Am
She weighed up the gains and the losses and gave me the shove
Am Dm Am E7 Am
The fear of mankind's untogetherness pounds in my heart
Am Dm Am E Am
The deceit of my friends the betrayals of which I am part
[Chorus]
G Am
And oh how the sea she roars with laughter
G Am
And howls with the dancing winds
G Am D G Dm Am
To see my two feet standing here questioning
[Verse]
Am Dm Am E Am
And I'm just a social experiment tailored to size
Am Dm Am E Am
I've tried out the national machine and the welfare surprise
Am Dm Am E7 Am
I'm the rich man, the poor man, the peace man, the war man, the beast
Am Dm Am E Am
The festive consumer who ends up consumed in the feast
Am Dm Am E Am
And my five eye'd promoter is clutching two birds in the bush
Am Dm Am E Am
He's a theif, he's as bad as the joker, they're both in the rush
Am Dm Am E7 Am
He's telling me Gandhi was handy and Jeez sold his ring (dunno who to - God
maybe?)
Am Dm Am E Am
And everyone knows that this dough's gonna make me the king
[Chorus]
G Am
And how the sea she roars with laughter
G Am
And howls with the dancing winds
G Am D G Dm Am
To see my two feet standing there questioning
[Verse]
Am Dm Am E Am
Meanwhile the ticket collectors are punching their holes
Am Dm Am E Am
Into your memories, your journeys and into your souls
Am Dm Am E7 Am
Your life sentence starts and the judge hands you down a spare wig
Am Dm Am E Am
Saying, "Get out of that," and, "Goodbye, old boy, have a good gig."
Am Dm Am E Am
And the town label makers stare down with their gallery eyes
Am Dm Am E Am
And point with computer stained fingers each time you arise
Am Dm Am E7 Am
To the rules and the codes and the system that keeps them in chains
Am Dm Am E Am
Which is where they belong with no poems, no love and no brains
