• Song:

    Why Do You Do It

  • Artist:

    The Courteeners

*Updated*

Liam used to play this when he was solo, before the Courteeners. He might have 
played it in his own section at Courteeners gigs early on, but i'm not sure. 
Anyway, the live version that is on youtube is played with a capo on the 3rd fret. 
The Bside to Take Over the World is played open, as standard, possibly with a 12 string acoustic.

Why do you do it,                   Why do you do it, do it to me


Verse 2

All of your friends have got these dark unsighlty rings around their eyes
and I suppose you think that's fashionable but that's no surprise
just look after yourself darling for a weekend is all I ask
and I swear that if you do I'll pick you up with a picnic, apples cake and flask
