  E          C#m             F#m                B7
Remember the nights when you ripped through the bins

         E           C#m        F#m          B7
Well, at four in the morning it made quite a din

E           C#m           F#m         B7
When you discovered those knickers of tin

          F#m                   B7
There's a story inside them somewhere
[Verse 2]
  E             C#m          F#m      B7
I see that your blog western values espouses

     E          C#m        F#m       B7
Both Russia and China with all due repouses

E           C#m        F#m       B7
That's real steel in Palestinian houses

   F#m      B7       E
Is nobody's else's business

    E         C#m          F#m       B7
The paper you write for it is a loss leader

     E            C#m             F#m   B7
It's haemorrhaging readers like a heavy bleeder

     E         C#m          F#m          B7
They shuffle upstairs for a chat with St Peter

     F#m               B7
Then nobody comes to replace them
[Verse 4]
    E             C#m         F#m           B7
So, why own these papers when money they're losing

    E            C#m       F#m           B7
For someone like me it can feel quite confusing

  E            C#m           F#m           B7
Unless it's to help with the choices we're choosing

       F#m  B7         E
That's very thoughtful   of them
[Chorus 3]
E              C                C                 E
  On the page,   you're a sage,   you're a real superstar

E              C                C                 E
  On the page,   you're a sage,   you're a real superstar

E                C               C                       (A)
  And every page   is engaged in   keeping things as they are
