They were hanging on for grim life
F5 E5 A5 G5
They were clutching at straws
F5 E5 A5 G5
They were sure the ship was at port, as it
F G
Sailed far from shore
F5 E5 A5 G5
They were keen philosophers
F5 E5 A5 G5
They were keen on hurt
F5 E5 A5 G5
They were like a pair of dumb dogs
F G
Rolling in the dirt - that's
F Em
You and your - idiot brother
F E
Waiting in the wi-ing
F Em
Which one holds up the other?
F G
Which one pulls the string? Oh!
F5 E5 A5 G5
One bite of the apple
F5 E5 A5 G5
One chop at the tree
F5 E5 A5 G5
Is your word as good as your bond
F G
Your stammer, your honesty
F5 E5 A5 G5
Nothing works for no-one
F5 E5 A5 G5
That won't work for me
F5 E5 A5 G5
Nothing works for no-one at all
F G
No-one works for free - except
F Em
You and your - idiot brother
F E
Waiting in the wi-ing
F Em
Which one holds up the other?
F G
Which one pulls the string? Oh!
F5 E5 A5 G5
We were getting on famously
F5 E5 A5 G5
I was doing my bit
F5 E5 A5 G5
They got no claim on me
F G
So send me a writ
F5 E5 A5 G5
I was walking around your house
F5 E5 A5 G5
In the middle of the night
F5 E5 A5 G5
Home medicine erotica
F G
Is your - prescription right? - that's
F Em
You and your - idiot brother
F E
Waiting in the wi-ing
F Em
Which one holds up the other?
F G
Which one pulls the string? Oh
F5 E5 A5 G5
I want to kill your sister
F5 E5 A5 G5
With some business advice
F5 E5 A5 G5
Never doubt your loyalty
F G
On the telephone line
F5 E5 A5 G5
And what about our fat friend
F5 E5 A5 G5
With the golden ear?
F5 E5 A5 G5
Upped and left, turned down your best shot
F G
Left you in arrears - that's
F Em
You and your - idiot brother
F E
Without prejudice
F Em
I can scarcely believe the situation
F G
Has come to this, oh!
F Em
You and your - hideous brother
F E
A crutch of sympathy
F Em
And on fire - you're no liar
F G
Just uselessly diseased, oh!
