No. 1 Party Anthem off the album AM, another beautiful song by Alex.
This is probably the most relaxing song on the album, with the title being completely ironic. 
Sounds very much like it should be on Alex's Submarine Soundtrack. 

Anyway, down to the actual playing. It's very easy to pick up, just listen to the 
song to find strumming patterns and precise change overs. 

All chords are standard, with the option to use barre or open, but it's up to you, 
I play it both ways. Enjoy!!


G                     B                 C                       Am        
   So you're on the prowl wondering whether she left already or not
D                                      Cm
Leather jacket, collar popped like Cantona
                         D       
Never knowing when to stop
G                   B
Sunglasses indoors, par for the course
C                        Am    
Lights in the floors and sweat on the walls
D            Cm                   D 
Cages and poles


G                            B                  C
Call off the search for your soul, or put it on hold again
                            Am      
She's having a sly indoor smoke
                  D                                  G
And she calls the folks who run this her oldest friends
                                              B   
Sipping a drink and laughing at imaginary jokes
           C                                        Am
As all the signals are sent, her eyes invite you to approach
                D                           Cm                            
And it seems as though those lumps in your throat
                       D                                                  G
That you just swallowed have got you going



B                                    C
Come on, come on, come on
G                                    C
Come on, come on, come on

Number one   party anthem


G          B            C                                  Am
She's a certified mind blower, knowing full well that I don't
                    D
May suggest there's somewhere from which you might know her
G
Just to get the ball to roll
G                   B
Drunken monologues, confused because
C                                                   Am           D         
It's not like I'm falling in love I just want you to do me no good
        Cm               D             G
And you look like you could


B                                      C
Come on, come on, come on
G                                      C
Come on, come on, come on

B                                      C
Come on, come on, come on
G                                      C     
Before the moment's gone
         Cm                            Em                  D 
Number one  party anthem



C            Am                   Em 
The look of love - the rush of blood
                 D   
The "She's with me" - the Gallic shrug
C            Am                Em  
The shutterbugs - the Camera Plus
                D
The black & white - the colour dodge
C               Am             Em  
The good time girl - the cubicles
               D                C   
The house of fun - the number one
Am        Em       D
