      And I don't care who hears it
[Verse 1]
A                 G
 'Cause I'm a fan - of The Go-Betweens

 A fan of Robert, and I always have been

 Because he's charming
[Verse 2]
D                 G                      N.C.
 Of all the stars, and all the would-be stars

D                  G               N.C.
 I'd take him home, to my mum and dad

D                    G                         N.C.
 Yeah, he's charming, but he's a trouble-maker too

D                  G    N.C.
 He amuses me greatly
[Verse 3]

  I like Lindy - and I saw Vickers

 Pete stole the set list, and the itinerary

 It was hard, but so is life

D                    G
 I was making button badges

D                        G
 And I had too much time on my hands

D                   G
 I coloured them by hand

D                 G
 Pere Ubu and The Sugarcubes
[Outro]
A                G
  Kids came in to watch me

A                           G
 But Pete and Sean just scorned

                A
Just like they scorned Robert

G                      A
  But I secretly loved the big guy

   G                           A
He dressed like Sherlock Holmes

                       G
And he fixed us with a quisitive eye

A                         G
 Before singing such romances

     A               G                         A
That only the sods - trampled underfoot by Thatcher

                       G
Could appreciate their love

                       A
Could appreciate their love
