D
History repeats the old conceits

      G
The glib replies, the same defeats

D
Keep your finger on important issues

        F
With crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues
[Part 2]
D
I'm just the oily slick

         G
On the windup world of the nervous tick

D                     F
In a very fashionable hovel
[Part 3]
D
I hang around dying to be tortured

G
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard

      D/F#                      F
This battle with the bottle is nothing so novel
[Part 4]
D                       G
So in this almost empty gin palace

Through a two-way looking glass

You see your Alice
[Part 5]
D
You know she has no sense

For all your jealousy

D                             F
In a sense she still smiles very sweetly
[Part 6]
              D
Charged with insults and flattery

Her body moves with malice

D                    F
Do you have to be so cruel to be callous

D                            G                       D/F#
And now you find you fit this identikit completely

                          F
You say you have no secrets and then leave discreetly
[Chorus]
G
I might make it California's fault

G
Be locked in Geneva's deepest vault

      Bm/F#                                            G
Just like the canals of Mars and the Great Barrier Reef

                       Dm
I come to you beyond belief
[Part 7]
D
My hands were clammy and cunning

G
She's been suitably stunning

D                         F
But I know there's not a hope in Hades

D                     G
All the laddies cat call and wolf whistle

D                                 F
So called gentlemen and ladies dog fight like rose and thistle
[End]

Now I am beyond belief

I got a feeling

I'm going to get a lot of grief

Now I am beyond belief
