C D

I put on my raincoat to make it rain

Em D

and sure enough the skies opened up again

C D

I dreamed of you as I walked to the shops,

Bm Em

you were dancing with the wallies on Top of the Pops

C C/B D

once in a while

C C/B D

Gennady Gerasimov drops his smile

C D

and you can see that his aim's

Bm Em

a portfolio pregnant with gains

C C/B D

he's been up all night

C C/B Am G

moving the goalposts

Bm

like a jackdaw with a fiery brand,

Em

spread the news all over this land

Am

robin hood and his merry men

D

are never never never coming back again

C D

I don't believe that love should be pain

Em D

so would you please rub my back again

C D

I think it's safe to leave them in the park

Bm Em

let's blow out the candles and kiss in the dark

C C/B D

heavens above

C C/B D

could this sticky stuff really be love

C D Bm Em

don't get dressed yet not yet

C C/B D

we've been up all night

intro.
