---------------------------.......................... *from 'Gold Against the Soul' (1993)* Verse 1:
  G                      Am7                C                 G
I write this alone on my bed; I've poisoned every room in the house.

    G                       Am7
The place is quiet and so a-lone,

                C                       G
Pretend there's something worth waiting for.

G                           Am7             C                   G
 There's nothing nice in my head; the adult world took it all a-way.

  G                            Am7             Bb                   (G)
I wake up with same spit in my mouth; I cannot tell if it's real, or not.

    I try and walk in a straight line.

    G                 Am7               C                    G
Out-side open mouthed crowds, pass each other, as if they're drugged.

     G                     Am7         C              G
Down pale corridors of rou-tine, where life falls una-toned.

G                   Am7              C                    G
 The weak kick like straw, 'till the world means less and less.

G                  Am7         Bb                  (G)
 Words are never e-nough; just cheap tarnished glit-ter.
