Verse
C G F There is something I've been meaning to tell you C G F When I die I intend to walk alone C G F Through the streets where the corner boys commend me C G F For making peace with the inner child from the mobile home C G F Now I am handing back the medals that you pinned to my chest, C We're at war, G F It's not safe out in the open C G C And the padlock you are wearing around your neck C G F Is a target for the cold, hungry half wits at dawn C G F Who are struggling to compose another drinking song C G F I feel safe amongst the hawkers and the gawkers C G F Telling stories scribbled downon on decks of cards C G F Flicking marbles through a mud stained maze of second hand ideas C G F You draw a drag whilst admiring the sweet heads C G F Of a city in the morning by Jack B Yeats C G F Who's that at the door ah it's only reality, C G F sure let him in makes sure he wipes his feet clean C G F Let us dissect the word from the markets and the factories N.C. F Bring me two glasses there is work to be done, C G F fetch me two glasses there is work to be done
Chorus
C G F Let us compare Mothers and the madness in their method C G F Let us compare Fathers and the shape of their jawlines C G F Let us compare regretful sexual encounters C G Let us compare addictions, past and present C G F Let us compare voices that dance in our heads C G F Let us make a pact now, let us spit in our hands C G F Let us compare songs that we wish we had written C G C Let us console one another.
Outro
C G F There is something I've been meaning to tell you C G F When I die I intend to walk alone C G F through the streets where the corner boys salute me C G F For making peace with the inner child from the mobile home C G F For loosing sleep with the inner child from the mobile home C G F For counting sheep with the inner child from the mobile home
