Debris

I left you on the debris
of the sunday morning market
searching through odds and ends
i was looking for a bargain.
Heard your footsteps at the front door
and that old familiar love song
I knew you'd find me waiting there
at the top of the stairs.
I've been there and back
just to see how far it is
you, you tried to tell me
but i had to learn for myself
Trouble at the depot
with the general workers union
said it'll never change a thing
they wont fight but they're not working
Oh you were my hero
now you're just my good friend
I've been there and back
now i know how far it is.
I left you on the debris
now we both know you've got no money
and i wonder what you would have done
without me hanging around.

Greetings To The New Brunette
-----------------------------
Shirley,
it's quite exciting to be sleeping here in this new room
Shirley,
you're my reason to get out of bed before noon
Shirley,
you know when we sat out on the fire escape talking
Shirley,
what did you say about running before we were walking
Sometimes when we are as close as this
It's like we're in a dream
How can you lie there and think of England
When you don't even know who's in the team
Shirley,
your sexual politics have left me all of a muddle
Shirley,
we are joined in the ideological cuddle
I'm celebrating my love to you
With a pint of beer and a new tattoo
And if you haven't noticed yet
I'm more impressionable when my cement is wet
Politics and pregnancy
Are debated as we empty our glasses
And how I love those evening classes
Shirley,
you really know how to make a young man angry
Shirley,
could we get through the night without mentioning family
The people from your church agree
It's not much of a career
Trying the handles of parked cars
Whoops,there goes another year
Whoops,there goes another pint of beer
Here we are in our summer years
Living on ice-cream and chocolate kisses
Would the leaves fall from the trees
If I was your old man and you were my missus
Shirley,
give my greetings to the new brunette
Greetings to the new brunette...

Little Time Bomb
(Billy Bragg)
G
One's of them off her food
C G
And the other's off his head
Em G D
And both of them are off down the boozer
C G
To drink a toast
C G
To the one that he hates most
Em G D G
And she says there are no winner, only losers
G Em
Well if there are no winners
C G
Then what is this he thinks
Em G D
As he watches her complete a lap of honour
C G
And he sits in the stands
C G
With his head in his hands
Em G
And he thinks of all the things
D G
He'd like to bring down upon her
G Em C G
Revenge will bring cold comfort in this darkest hour
G C D G
As the jukebox says 'It's All Over Now'
Em G
And he stands and he screams
C G
What have I done wrong
D Em C G
I've fallen in love with a little time bomb
D Em C G
I've fallen in love with a little time bomb
C G Am G
In public he's such a man
C G Am G
He's punching at the walls with his bare ad bloody hands
C G Am G
He's screaming and shouting and acting crazy
C D
But at home he sits alone and he cries like a baby
G Em C G
Oh he holds your letters but he can't read them
G C D G
As he fights this loneliness that you call freedom
Em G C G
You said this would happen and you were not wrong
D Em C G
I've fallen in love with a little time bomb
D Em C G
I've fallen in love with a little time bomb

Must I paint you a picture
(Billy Bragg)
intro: C - G - Am
C G F
It's bad timeing and me
G C
We find a lot of things out this way
G
And there's you
F G
A little black cloud in a dress
C G
The temptation
Am F
To take the precious things we have a part
C G C
To see how they work
G Am F C
Must be resisted for they never fit together again
G Am
If this is rain let it fall on me and drown me
G Am G
If these are tears let them fall
C G Am
Must I paint you a picture
C G Am
About the way that I feel
C Am G
You know that my love for you is strong girl
C Am G
You know that my love for you is real
C G F
It took a short walk and a talk
G C
To change the rules of engagement
G F G
While you searched frantically for reverse
C G
And then claiming
Am F C A
That virtue never tested is no virtue at all
C G Am
And so I lost my ignorance
F-G Am
And now the bells across the river chime out your name
G Am G
I look across to them again (chorus)
Em C
All your friends sais come down
It will never fly
F
And on that imperfect day
G
We threw it all away
Em Am
Crisis after crisis, with such intensity
F G
This would never happen if we lived by the sea
C G F
Most important decisions in life
G C
Are made between two people in bed
G F G
I found that at my own expense
C G
And when I see you
Am F C G C
You juts turn around and walk away like we never met
G Am F
Oh we used to be so brave
G Am G
I dreamt the wolrd stopped turning as we climbed the hill
Am G
I dreamt impossible dreams that we were lovers still (chorus)

Try from the very start.
Refrão

Who cares about the weather.

And push our bed together.
