Bm7 Em
Bm7
A patchwork of dreams came and went
Interwoven with juxtapositions
Em
Mid-Atlantic waves of nausea and sweat
Minimalistic scenes, copy and paste
Bm7
Hand me my inheritance
Be it a concept or a notion
Or the seven sisters of sleep
Em
Walking a limestone road
You look shaken Man, I've been shook
Bm7
This is my first mouthful of clean air in eighteen months
Em
They stuck me in a cell for a wrong they couldn't understand
Now my primary purpose is to speak to the land
Bm7
Glistening liquescent morning
There are those who have claimed you before me
Em
But hear me now delirium of order
I bring word of rape and plunder from across the border
Bm7
Lo and behold
There was no rumoured pot of gold
Em
Only the grave of Johnny Filth
G A Bm7
Who was loosely based on a member of the human race
Lo and behold
There was no rumoured pot of gold
Only the grave of Johnny Filth
Who was loosely based on a member of the human race
Bm7
Landscape littered with bric-a-brac
Deck chairs stripped of their hides
Em
Defects of character scribbled on borrowed pages
Bottled up and flung far into the angry tide
Bm7
The men greet me with kisses on the lips,
An occultist code I've yet to unlock
Em
A woman with a face like a stopped clock
hands me a flyer, saying "Free the innocent ferris wheel"
Bm7
And I wonder
How much the piper should be paid
Em
Then I climb through the hail and through the rain
G A Bm7
And I hear my ancestors singing this song
Lo and behold
There was no rumoured pot of gold
Only the grave of Johnny Filth
Who was loosely based on a member of the human race
Lo and behold
There was no sacred pot of gold
Only the grave of the grate Johnny Filth
Who was loosely based on a sentient being
Em G7
The shoe shine boy holding a flame
Bm7
He's been waiting for the change
G7
Waiting for the change
Em G7
The requiem bells bring an end to their game
Bm7
We've been waiting for the change
G7
Waiting for the change
Lo and behold
There was no rumoured pot of gold
Only the grave of Johnny Filth
Who was loosely based on a member of the human race
Lo and behold
There was no sacred pot of gold
Only the grave of Johnny Filth
Who was loosely based on a member of the human race.
