The Courteeners - Sycophant
By Adam Blackburne
(Some lyrics are missing/incorrect)


C#5
I'll never dance with a Sycophant
      Bb5        G#5
I'd rather entertain disdain
       C#5                             Bb5                G#5
from someone who I love, at least you know where you stand,
                 C#5 
you'll never understand

C#/G#5 x2

C#5                                           Bb5
Keep your eyes on your own work son, do your homework son
        G#5         C#5
you'll never be undone
             Bb5                       G#5
we're like a father and a son we will never be undone

C#/G#5 x2


I'll ask you; 
         Bb5
are my clothes alright?
       F5
Is my hair alright?
        F#5                        G#5
You can say what you want cos its what we like
         Bb5                        F5
we are judged on everything single thing we do
         F#5                       G#5
we could not care less cos we are us not you

C#5
you say you're clued up i think you're glued up
              Bb5          G#5                               C#5
You're seen everywhere in town, but you're never with a friend
         Bb5        G#5                           C#5
you know everybodys name, you're the king of pretend

C#/G#5

    C#5 
The proofs in the pudding, and the gigs, 
               Bb5                    G#5
you've not even been to Woolworths to buy your mix
     C#5                     
You flirt with the weather a kneeling knave?
      Bb5                           G#5
Billy Shakespeare would be spinning in his grave

 
          Bb5
are my clothes alright?
       F5
Is my hair alright?
        F#5                        G#5
You can say what you want cos its what we like
         Bb5                        F5
we are judged on everything single thing we do
         F#5                       G#5
we could not care less cos we are us not you

C#5
you say you're clued up i think you're glued up
              Bb5          G#5                               C#5
You're seen everywhere in town, but you're never with a friend
         Bb5        G#5                           C#5
you know everybodys name, you're the king of pretend


    Bb5
are my clothes alright?
       F5
Is my hair alright?
        F#5                        G#5
You can say what you want cos its what we like
         Bb5                        F5
we are judged on everything single thing we do
         F#5                       G#5
we could not care less cos we are us not you

C#5
you say you're clued up i think you're glued up
              Bb5          G#5                               C#5
You're seen everywhere in town, but you're never with a friend
         Bb5        G#5                           C#5
you know everybodys name, you're the king of pretend

 C#5                                     Bb5
You'd rather dance with a Sycophant how do you sleep
       G#5             C#5
How do you get Up Get Fucked
