Senses Working Overtime
guitar chords lyrics
G#m F# G#m F#
Hey, hey the clouds are whey
G#m F#
There's straw for the donkeys
G#m F# G#m F# G#m
and the innocents can all sleep safely
F# G#m F# G#m F#
all sleep safely
G#m F# G#m F#
My, my, the sun is pie
G#m F#
There's fodder for the cannons
G#m F# G#m F# G#m
and the guilty ones can all sleep safely
F# G#m F# G#m F#
all sleep safely
A G A
And all the world is football-shaped
G A B
it's just for me to kick its face
A B
and I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
E E B F#m E
and I've got one, two, three, four, five
E B A E B
senses working o--ver--time
A B E B A G#m
trying to take this all in I've got
E E B F#m E
one, two, three, four, five
E B A E B
senses working o--ver--time
A E B
trying to taste the difference
A E B
'tween a lemon and a lime
A E B
pain and the pleasure and
E B A G#m F#
the church bells softly chime
hey, hey, night fights day
there's food for the tinkers and
the innocents can all live slowly
all live slowly
my, my, the sky will cry
jewels for the thirsty and
the guilty one's can all die slowly
all die slowly
and all the world is biscuit-shaped
it's just for me to feed my face
and I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
and I've got one, two, three, four, five
senses working overtime
and birds might fall from black skies
and bullies might give you black eyes
but to me they're very very beautiful (englands glory)
beautiful (a striking beauty)
and all the world is football shaped
it's just for me to kick in space
and I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
and I've got one, two, three, four, five
senses working overtime
trying to take all this in
I've got one, two, three, four five
senses working overtime
try to tell the difference
between the goods and crimes
dirt and treasure and there's
one, two, three, four, five
senses working overtime.......
