(Intro) 
B F#/B F# /F 

B C F# 
Do 
B F#/B F# /F 
Wah 
B F#/Bb C# F# 
Oh 
B F#/Bb 
Hanging about down the market street 
F# 
I spent a lot of time on my feet 
B F#/Bb 
When I saw some passing yabbos 
B C# F# 
We did chance to speak 

I knew how to sing 
y' know an 
They knew how to pose 
An' one of them had a Les Paul 
Heart attack machine 

B E B 
All the young punks 
E 
Laugh your life 
B/D# B/D# C#m 
Cos there ain't much to cry for 
B E B 
All the young cunts 
F# 
Live it now 
C#m B 
Cos there ain't much to die for 

Everybody wants to bum 
A ride on the rock 'n' roller coaster 
And we went out 
Got our name in small print on the poster 
Of course we got a manger 
Though he ain't the mafia 
A contract is a contract 
When they get 'em out on yer 

A 
You gotta drag yourself to work 
Drag yourself to sleep 
A 
You're dead from the neck up 
By the middle of the week

Face front you got the future shining 
Like a piece of gold 
But I swear as we get closer 
It look more like a lump of coal 
But it's better than some factory 
Now that's no place to waste your youth 
I worked there for a week once 
I luckily got the boot
