Verse 1

Blind date with a chancer we had Oysters and dry lancers and the check
when it arrived we went dutch dutch dutch dutch
a redder shade of neck on a whiter shade of trash and this
emory board is giving me a rash
I am flat out your're so beautiful to look at when you cry
freeze don't move you've chosen as an extra in the movie adaptation of
the sequel to your life

Chorus

A shady lane, everybody wants one
A shady lane, everybody needs one
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god
Oh my god, oh your god, oh his god, oh her god
It's everybody's god, it's everybody's god, it's everybody's god,
it's everybody's god
Em C/G D C/G*
The worlds collide, but all that I want is a shady lane

Verse 2

Glance, don't stare
Soon you're being told to recognize your heirs
No, not me -- I'm an island of such great complexity
Stress surrounds in the muddy peaceful center of this town
Tell me off in the hotel lobby right in front of all the bellboys and the
over-friendly concierge

Chorus

A shady lane, everybody wants one
A shady lane, everybody needs one
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god
Oh my god, oh your god, oh his god, oh her god
It's everybody's god, it's everybody's god, it's everybody's god, it's
everybody's god
The worlds collide, but all that I want is a shady lane.
