Divine Comedy, Songs Of Love (1995)
Key: :[C] (w: Neil Hannon)
INTRO: [C] ^
[Csus4] :
[x4]
VERSE 1:
[C] Pale, pubescent
[F] beasts, roam through the
[G] streets and coffee
[Am] shops
Their
[Dm7] prey gather in
[F] herds, The stiff knee-length
[D#add9] skirts and white ankle-
[G#m/Db]-socks
But
[C] while they search for a
[F] mate, my type hiber-
[G]-nate in bedrooms a-
[Am]-bove
Com-
[D7]-posing their
[F] songs of
[C^Asus4] love
VERSE 2:
Young, uniform minds in uniform lines and uniform ties
Run round with trousers on fire and signs of desire they cannot disguise
While I try to find words as light as the birds that circle above
To put in my songs of love
CHORUS 1:
[G#] Fate doesn't
[Fm6] hang on a
[C] wrong or right
[Am/11] choice
[G#] Fortune de-
[Fm6]-pends on the
[C] tone of your
[G] voice
BRIDGE 1: [chording as second half of VERSE 1]
So sing while you have time, let the song shine down from above
And fill you with songs of love
INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
REPEAT CHORUS:
BRIDGE 2:
So let's sing while we still can, while the song hangs high up above
Wonderful songs of love, beautiful songs of love
