The Flattery Stakes Lyrics & Tabs by Greenslade
The Flattery Stakes
guitar chords lyrics
Get what you want while you can
I'm a generous man but no fool
The sequins were sewn on by hand by my mother
The false eye is a jewel
I'm wonderful, so marvellous. but flattery's superfluous
But when I'm lonely
What's left but a void
So get what you can while you want
I'm a generous man who said fool
The toupee was fashioned by craftsmen, draughtsmen
The cigar is a ruse
I'm meticulous, ridiculous and totally fastidious
But when I'm lonely
I haven't a friend
So get if you want what you can
But when I'm lonely
I haven't a friend
So get if you want what you can
I'm a generous fool some say man
I'll meet you outside on the pitch with the others
Or one afternoon with a band
Or one afternoon with a band
But when I'm lonely
Who's real and who's who
Get what you want while you can
(If you want it you can get it)
Get what you can while you want
(If you want it you can get it)
Get if you want what you can
