Intro:
(Spoken):
(n.c)
Court in session.
What do you mean 'Oi oi oi'?
Must have court in session. Order.
(Spoken over E A B):
My name is Judge Roughneck,
And I will not tolerate,
Any disobedience in my courtroom.
Rude boy, you have been brought in front of me,
And charged with smashing this woman's window.
Before I sentence you;
What have you got to say in your defence?
Verse 1:
EI (022100@1)was walking,
A (x02220@1) BDown (x2444x@1)the street one night,
EWhen (022100@1)I saw her silhouette,
A (x02220@1) BIn (x2444x@1)a bathroom light.
E (022100@1)Her way of life baby,
A (x02220@1) B (x2444x@1)Nothing to hide,
EWith (022100@1)her frosted glass,
A (x02220@1) BShatterd (x2444x@1)curtains open wide.
Chorus 1:
D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1) c (x3101x@1) G (320003@1)Naked woman, naked man,
D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1) c (x3101x@1) G (320003@1)Where did you get that nice sun-tan?
D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1) c (x3101x@1) GYou (320003@1)live in a castle built of sand,
D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1) c (x3101x@1) G (320003@1)Naked woman, naked man.
Break:
(n.c)
Naked from your bath,
You go naked to your bed.
And I can't stop the hatred,
Running through my head.
Solo:
E (022100@1)A (x02220@1)B(x6) (x2444x@1)
Break:
(Spoken over E A B):
Silence in court.
Order.
Rude boy, you have led me to believe,
That you was going out with a girl,
And she left you and married someone else.
So you got drunk,
And smashed up your ex-girlfriend's property.
I have come to one conclusion;
That is to sentence you to five months in prison.
Before they take you down to the cells,
What have you got to say for yourself?
Verse 3:
EHe (022100@1)wanted to be something,
A (x02220@1) BBut (x2444x@1)she knows he never will.
EShe's (022100@1)got him where she wanted,
A (x02220@1) BAnd (x2444x@1)for-got to take her pill.
EAnd (022100@1)he thinks that she'll be happy,
A (x02220@1) BWhen (x2444x@1)she's hanging out the nappies,
EIf (022100@1)that's a happy marriage;
A (x02220@1) Bb (x1333x@1)name="chord_x2444x@1">B (n.c)
I'd pre-fer to be un-happy!
