A (x02220@1)AWhat (x02220@1)you trying to say that you haven't tried to say before?
You're just another red balloon with a lot of hot gas,
Why don't you fuck off?

D (xx0232@1)                         AAnd (x02220@1)you think you've got it worked out,
D (xx0232@1)                      AAnd (x02220@1)you think you've got it made,
D (xx0232@1)                           AAnd (x02220@1)you're trying to play the hero,
            D (xx0232@1)                    EOh, (022100@1)but you never walk home in the dark.

AI (x02220@1)think it's time for truth, and the truth is you've lost, Uncle Jimmy,
Admit you're a failure and decline with honour while you can.

D (xx0232@1)                         AAnd (x02220@1)you think you've got it sussed out, (Hah!)
D (xx0232@1)     E (022100@1)              AAnd (x02220@1)you think that we're brainwashed, (No way!)
D (xx0232@1)                         AAnd (x02220@1)you're trying to form a police state,
           D (xx0232@1)                 ESo (022100@1)you can rule our bodies and minds.

D (xx0232@1)                      AWhatever (x02220@1)happened to the great empire?
G (320003@1)                         D (xx0232@1)    G (320003@1) DYou (xx0232@1)bastards have turned it into man - ure!
A (x02220@1)               G (320003@1)            ETell (022100@1)the young to stick together now.

AI (x02220@1)bet you sleep at nights in silk sheets, and a clean mind,
While killer roam the streets in numbers, dressed in blue.

D (xx0232@1)                          AAnd (x02220@1)you're trying to hide it from us,
D (xx0232@1)     E (022100@1)       ABut (x02220@1)you know what I mean,
D (xx0232@1)               ABring (x02220@1)forward the six pigs,
         D (xx0232@1)               EWe (022100@1)wanna see them swing so high,

Liddle Towers!

(there then follows a short guitar solo:)

C'mon!

repeat the guitar solo up to the bar and then play:

NB: Liddle Towers: Weller shouts this before the guitar solo, Liddle Towers died in
                   police custody in late 1976, the coroner's verdict of 'misadventure'
                   led the newspapers to demand afull (x02210@1)enquiry.
