Chords
The perfect introduction to an album like Brutal Youth, which I describe as all of
EC&A's previous work thrown into a blender to create a fantastic mix.
Intro: D Dsus4 D[5x]
G She lives on Pony Street G C And they should scatter flowers at her feet D C G But when they come calling I think it's appalling Am D G They're sober and they're polite D C G They're deeply respectful when I would expect them Am D To keep her out all night G That little martinet G C Will get her own way yet D C G If you need instruction in mindless destruction Am D G I'll show you a thing or two D C G Am You used to adore me but now my life flashes before me D For you to view D A D G Em Oh mother, oh mother, sometimes you are so mortifying D A D G Em From the hole in your leopard skin tights I can tell you've been spying D A D G Em But your generation confesses before it transgresses D A D G Em Those Super-8 movies of daddy in your disco dresses G If you're going out tonight C Am I won't wait up
Reading "Das Kapital"
A Watching "Home Shopping Club" D While you're flogging a dead horse C G D G All the way down Pony Street D G D Where you live after a fashion C G D G All the way down Pony Street D G C The life and the soul of every indiscretion Am D That lives on, that lives on, that lives on C G/B Pony Street D A D G Em Daughter, oh daughter, you know I will love you forever D A D G Em But spare me the white ankle socks with the lace and the leather F A D G Em For you and your cartoon threat do no good to resist me F A D G Em For I am the genuine thing but for you it's just history G If you're going out tonight C Am How can you be sure
Where you lay your pretty head
A Mother may have been before D So you're flogging a dead horse C G D G All the way down Pony Street D G D Where you live after a fashion C G D G All the way down Pony Street D G C The life and the soul of every indiscretion Am Am That lives on, That lives on Am A A That lives on, That lives on, That lives on D Dsus4 D She lives on Pony Street [2x] D Dsus4 D D Dsus4 D She lives on, she lives on [2x]
