Y' know my wandering days are over

          A                     F#m
Does that mean that I'm getting boring?

         G
You tell me
I'm tired of listening to myself, yeah
                                               D

Y' know my bip-bopping days are over

          A                   F#m                  G
I hung my boots up and then retired from the disco floor
The centre of my so called being is
                                                 D
The space between your bed and wardrobe with the louvre doors

You put me straight on the finer points of my speech rehearsed
In the mirror of my steamy bathroom
                                        D
Where the lino tells a sorry story in a monologue

       A
 (In a monologue)

A spooky witch in a sexy dress has been bugging me
With the story of the way it should be

With the story of Sebastian and Belle the singer, yeah
