Five Years Placebo
Lyrics
G
pushing through the market squareEm
so many mothers sighingAm
news had just come over, we haveC
Five years left of cryingG
news guy wept and told ushe said
Em
earth, was really dyingAm
cried so much his face was wetthen i knew
C
, he was not lyingi heard t
G
elephones, opera house, favourite melodiesthere were
Em
boys toys, electric guns and TVsm
C
y brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to sparei had to
Am
cram so many things to store everything in thereand all the fat
C
, skinny peopleAm
and all the tall shortC
, peopleAm
and all the nobody peoG
pleC
and all the somebody peoD
plenever thought i'd need, so many
Am
people C
G
girl my age went off her headEm
hit some tiny childrenAm
and if the black hadn't have pulled her offthen i t
C
hink, she would have killed themG
soldier with a broken armEm
used to stare into the wheels of a cadillacAm
cop knelt to kiss the feet of a priestand a q
C
ueer threw up at the sight of that, wellG
think i saw you in an ice-cream parlourEm
drinking milkshakes cold and longAm
smiling and waving and looking so fineC
don't think you knew you were in this songG
and it was cold, and it rained, so i felt like an actorEm
and i thought of ma, and i wanted to get back thereAm
your face, your waist, the way that you talkC
i miss you you're beautifulG
we got five years stuck on my eyesEm
five years, what a surprise, we gotAm
five years, my brain hurts alotC
five years, that's all we gotG
we got, five years
