Eve   -   ry       day and every night
We are really outta sight
Frankie's here, so's Annette
We're having fun getting wet

(C): We're at the beach
We're at the beach
We're having fun
We're at the beach

We're always surfing dusk 'til dawn
It's so hard to keep our swimsuits on (C)
I'm gonna get me a groovy tan
So's I can get me a groovy man (C)





RATS IN THE GARBAGE OF THE WESTERN WORLD

            C#m:446654         E:022100 B:224442
This is the darkest place I've ever been
but I like what little of you I've seen
You stepped out of the TV screen 
and into my most personal dreams

C#m                  B           F#:244322
  I don't want to go home with you 
but the TV tells me what to do
I don't want to fall in love with you
but I've been conditioned to

                C#m         E              B
(C): We are the rats in the garbage of the western world
we are the rats in the garbage of the western world
we are the rats in the garbage of the western world
so let's dance. 

I wouldn't look twice if I were sober enough
but I can tell you're a diamond in the rough
the way you don't talk and the way you don't walk
just like a model  I know this is gonna be love
In a place like this with a boy like you
anything could happen if you want it to
I want to shoot you and hang you on my wall
but there's no film in my Polaroid (C) (C)





THE MAN AMPLIFIER (Stuart Moxham)

(note: the original song uses these chords - C, F, G)

A:002220
   The Man Amplifier
has everything but desire

D:x00232              E:022100
   Is a robot when he should

A
   Never tires, ever good
And we're singing

Parallel sympathy with you
Skin to metal overture
Take a walk, he's always near
Like a shadow, never fear
While we're singing

Like a tower in the dark
He can leave you feeling stark
While his fingers fall away
Love is climbing in his heart
So we're singing

Take a towel to his brow
Soothe the features of the proud
Lubricate the inner man
Exercise him when you can
And be singing





PLANT WHITE ROSES

(note: in the original Susan-sings version, in the second chorus,
"I wanna die" is sung before "and plan to cry")

C:032010                   F:133211 C      G:320033
When I poured my heart out,   blood flowed

  C                             F
I planted you, watered you with tears

    C               G          F 
and watched you grow away from me 

G                       F
So much for my green thumb

     G                  F
I've overstayed my welcome 

                 C                  F
(C): Plant white roses and plan to cry 

           C             G
if I can't spend my life with you

            C               F
Plant white roses  I wanna die 

           C    G        C         F 
if I can't spend my life with you

         C         G
(my life with you).    <- this line is only in the first chorus
                          of the Stephin-sings version and in
                          the first two choruses of the Susan-sings
                          version

When you're gone I stumble and fall
I'm told you don't wanna stay around
Those trains call  You're all I need
but you need more than country songs
You need to be getting along (C)

BRIDGE:  Dm:x00231 G

               C                    Bb:113331           F
You'll have to stay, you'll have to stay and watch them grow
You'll have to stay, you'll have to stay and watch them grow

               C                    Bb                  F  G
You'll have to stay, you'll have to stay and watch them grow (C)

        C         F
My life with you

        C
My life with you





HEROES (David Bowie/Brian Eno)

E:022100     A:002220
I, I will be King

    E                A
And you, you will be Queen

       D:x00232                 E
Though nothing will drive them away

       D        A             E
We can beat them just for one day
We can be heroes just for one day 

And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers and that is a fact
Yes, we're lovers and that is that 

Though nothing will keep us together
We could steal time just for one day
We can be heroes
Forever and ever
What do you say? 

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like the dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them
Forever and ever
Oh, we can be heroes just for one day 

I, I will be King
And you, you will be Queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be us just for one day 

I, I can remember
Standing by the wall
And the guns shot above our heads
And we kissed as though nothing would fall
And the shame was on the other side
We can beat them forever and ever
And we can be heroes just for one day 

We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes

We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying
Then you better not stay
But we could be safer
Just for one day

    This is not love

This is not even worth a point of view

xx0033
    In Echo Park I

                              F
pause for effect and whisper "Who are you?"

C                            Bb
(C): They crawl out of their holes for me
And I die: you die

C                                Bb
     Hear them laugh, watch them turn on me
And I die: you die

C                            Bb
     See my scars, they call me such things
Tear me, tear me, tear me

But I have your names
Screaming "You will suffer" and "You're all too late"
Now I feel young
Does everything stop when the old dame fails? (C)

But I'm still frightened by the telephone
(note: it sounds like Stephin is singing "But I'm still waiting 
for the telephone" instead of the original line)

SMOKE AND MIRRORS (MARK ROBINSON REMIX)

(note: in the second line of the chorus, the chord progression is
D A Bm G, not D A E like the original.  It sounds a little off, if 
you ask me, but anyway, these chords reflect the crazy remix chords.)

D:x00232                  A:002220 E:022100   G:320033
Someone else's world goes by as my train runs through this night
Someone else's rain comes down but no rain can touch me now 

                     D             A               Bm:224432      G
(C): Smoke and mirrors, special effects, a little fear, a little sex

                D             A                Bm       G
That's all love is behind the tears  Smoke and mirrors.  

We were foolish, you and I but there's no reason to cry 
We put on a lovely show but that's all.  I had to go.  (C) 

It feels like the end of time  No one to sing "Auld Lang Syne"
I don't know the stations' names  I'll spend my life on this train (C) 
Fumee et miroirs, effets speciaux, un pue de peur, un peu de sexe  
Sous les larmes l'amour n'est que sa de la fumee et des miroirs.
