And a fine coalminer for the NCB that was
(repeat chord sequence ahead....)
A fallen angel and Jesus on the cross
A skating ballerina you should have seen her do the skater's waltz
Some people have got to paint and draw
Harry had to work iin clay and stone
Like the waves coming to the shore
It was in his blood and in his bones
Ignored by all the trendy boys in London and in Leeds

CHORUS: He might as well have been making toys or strings of beads
C C G C slide D
He could'nt be... He could'nt be..... in the gallery
And then you get an artist says he doesn't want to paint at all
He takes an empty canvas and sticks it on the wall
The birds of a feather all the phonies and all of the fakes
While the dealers they get together
And they decide who gets the breaks
And who's going to be in the gallery
Solo: Follow 1 verse chord pattern
and then do the chorus
No lies he wouldn't compromise
No junk no bits of string
And all the lies we subsidise
That just don't mean a thing
I've got to say he passed away in obscurity
And now all the vultures are coming down from the tree
So he's going to be in the gallery

In the shadow of the Wheel of Fortune you're busy trying to clear your

You say, "I may be guilty yeah, that may be true, but I'd be lying if I
said I was to blame"
See we could have been major contenders, we never got no money no breaks
You got a list of all the major offenders, you got a list of all their

And he's just a-standing in the shadows and you smile that come-on smile
Oh and I can still hear you say as clear as the day, "I'd like to make

Intro: Bm7 D A G Bm7 D A G Bm7 Bm7 Bm7 F# C9 (Stop)
Bm7 D A G9
Red sun, go down way over dirty town
Bm7 D A E9
Starlings are sweeping around crazy shoals
Bm7 D A G9
Yes, and a girl is there, high heeling across the square
Bm7 D A E9
The wind it blows around in her hair, and the flags upon the poles
Em9
Waiting in the crowd to cross at the light
G F#m7 Bm7 F#m7 Bm7 F# C9
She looks around to find a face she can like.
Bm7 D A G9
Church bell, clinging on, trying to get a crowd, Evensong
Bm7 D A E9
Nobody cares to depend upon, the chime it plays
Bm7 D A G9
They're all in the station, praying for trains, the congregation's, late again
Bm7 D A E9
It's getting darker, all the time, these flagpole days
Em9
Drunk old soldier he gives her a fright
G F#m7 Bm7 F#m7 Bm7 F# C9
He's crazy lion howling for a fight.
Bm7 D A G9
Strap hanging, gunshot sound, door slamming on the, overground
Bm7 D A E9
The starlings are tough, but the lions are made of stone
Bm7 D A G9
Her evening paper is horror torn, but there's hope later for, capricorns
Bm7 D A E9
Her lucky stars give her just enough, ... to get her home
Em9
Then she's reading about a swing to the right
G F#m7 Bm7 F#m7 Bm7 F# C9
But she's thinking about a stranger in the night
G A G A
I'm thinking about the lions, I'm thinking about the lions

A fade out
What happened to the lions, tonight (tonight) (tonight)

I'm just and ageing drummer boy

And in the wars I used to play

Father please her my confession

And hid like a thief

I have re-written history

With my armies and my crooks

Invented memories

I did burn all the books

Well I have tried to be meek
And I have tried to be mild
But I spat like a woman
And sulked like a child
I have lived behind walls
That have made me alone
Striven for peace
Which I have never known
And I can still hear his laughter
And I can still hear his song
The man's too big
The man's too strong
Well the sun rose on the courtyard
And they all did hear him say
'You always were a Judas
But I got you anyway
You may have got your silver
But I swear upon my life
Your sister gave me diamonds
And I gave them to your wife'
Oh father please help me
For I have done wrong
The man's too big
The man's too strong

1. Now look at them yo-yo's, that's the way you do it,

That ain't workin' , that's the way you do it,

Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it,
lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb.
Maybe get a blister on your little finger,
maybe get a blister on your thumb.

Look at that mama, she's got it stickin' in the camera
Man we could have some fun.
And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
Bangin' on the bongoes like a chimpanzee.
Oh, that ain't workin', that's the way you do it,
get your money for nothin' and chicks for free.

3. Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it,

Money for nothin' and your chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free.
Money for nothin', chicks for free........
