Intro

Dm Dsus2 Gm* Gm A A7

Verse 1

Drag him out your window, dragging out the dead
Singing I miss you, snakes and ladders flip the lid
Gm* Gm
Out pops the cracker, smacks you in the head, knives you in the neck
Kicks you in the teeth, steel toe caps, takes all your credit cards
Get up, get the gunge
Get the eggs, get the flan in the face
The flan in the face, the flan in the face
Dance, you fucker, dance, you fucker
Don't you dare, don't you dare
Don't you, flan in the face
Take it with the love it's given, take it with a pinch of salt
Take it to the tax man
Let me back, let me back
I promise to be good, don't look in the mirror
Eb/G Gm*
At the face you don't recognise
Help me, call the doctor, put me inside
Put me inside, put me inside
Put me inside, put me inside

Chorus 1

I keep the wolf from the door, but he calls me up
Calls me on the phone, tells me all the ways
That he's gonna mess me up
Steal all my children if I don't pay the ransom
And I'll never see them again if I squeal to the cops

Interlude

Oh, oh, oh, oh whoa
oh no no, no no no, no no no no, no no no no
No no no no, no, no no
(x3, cut F and A short on last one)

Verse 2

Walking like giant cranes, and with my X-ray eyes I strip you naked
Eb/G Gm*
In a tight little world, and are you on the list?
Stepford Wives, who are we to complain?
Investments and dealers, investments and dealers
Cold wives and mistresses, cold wives and
Sunday papers
City boys in First Class, don't know we're born little
Eb/G Gm*
Someone else is gonna come and clean it up
Born and raised for the job
Someone always does, always pick it up
Get over, get up, get over, turn the tape off

Chorus 2

I keep the wolf from the door, but he calls me up
Calls me on the phone, tells me all the ways
That he's gonna mess me up
Steal all my children if I don't pay the ransom
And I'll never see them again if I squeal to the cops, so I'm just gonna
Oooooh, oooh oooh
Oooooh, oooh oooh
Ooooooooh, oooooh
