The perfect introduction to an album like Brutal Youth, which I describe as all of 
EC&A's previous work thrown into a blender to create a fantastic mix.

Intro: D  Dsus4  D[5x]

GShe (320003@1)lives on Pony Street
G (320003@1)                                     CAnd (x32010@1)they should scatter flowers at her feet
    D (xx0232@1)            C (x32010@1)       G (320003@1)
But when they come calling I think it's appalling
        Am (x02210@1)      D (xx0232@1)      G (320003@1)They're sober and they're polite
        D (xx0232@1)         C (x32010@1)        G (320003@1)
They're deeply respectful when I would expect them
    Am (x02210@1)                        D (xx0232@1)To keep her out all night
GThat (320003@1)little martinet
G (320003@1)                  CWill (x32010@1)get her own way yet
   D (xx0232@1)           C (x32010@1)       G (320003@1)     
If you need instruction in mindless destruction
     Am (x02210@1)       D (xx0232@1)      G (320003@1)I'll show you a thing or two
    D (xx0232@1)        C (x32010@1)       G (320003@1)                 AmYou (x02210@1)used to adore me but now my life flashes before me

         D (xx0232@1)           A (x02220@1)         D (xx0232@1)          G (320003@1)                EmFrom (022000@1)the hole in your leopard skin tights I can tell you've been spying
    D (xx0232@1)       A (x02220@1)      D (xx0232@1)      G (320003@1)           EmBut (022000@1)your generation confesses before it transgresses
      D (xx0232@1)      A (x02220@1)       D (xx0232@1)     G (320003@1)        Em (022000@1)Those Super-8 movies of daddy in your disco dresses
