...MICHAEL CAINE... by Madness
-------------------...........
*from 'Keep Moving' (1984)*
*CAPO 3rd FRET*
(Original Key: C)
Intro:
We'll get ya, ya ya,
We'll get ya, ya ya. (I am Michael Caine).
La la la la, la la la la.
Verse 1:
He's walking where I'm afraid, I don't know,
I see the firemen jumping from the windows.
There's panic, and I hear somebody scream.  
He picks up useless paper, and puts it in my pocket,
I'm trying very hard to keep my fingers clean.
I can't re-member; tell me, what's his name?
(My name is Michael Caine).
Chorus 1:
And all I wanted was a word, or photo-graph to keep at home.
And all I wanted was a word, or photo-graph to keep.
Verse 2:
The sun is laughing; it's another broken morning,
I see a shadow and call out to try and warn him,
He didn't seem to hear; just turned a-way.  
Bridge 1:
The quiet fellow follows, and points his finger straight at you.
He had to sacrifice his pride, yes, and throw it all away...
Interlude:
G Eb, D F Db, Csus4 C
(I am Micheal Caine).
Chorus 2:
And all I wanted was a word, or photo-graph to keep at home.
And all I wanted was a word, or photo-graph to keep.
Verse 3:
His days are numbered; he walks round and round in circles,
There is no place he can ever call his own.
He seems to jump at the sound of the phone.  
Staring out the window, there's nothing he can now do,
All he wanted has to remain sane; he can't re-member his own name.
(My name is Michael Caine).
Chorus 3:
And all I wanted was a word, or photo-graph to keep at home.
And all I wanted was a word, or photo-graph to keep.
And all I wanted was a word, or photo-graph...
And all I wanted was a word, or photo-graph to keep.
Interlude:
A E, D A E7
Chorus 4:
And all I wanted was a word, or photo-graph to keep at home.
And all I wanted was a word, or photo-graph to keep.
(Repeat to Fade)
