x2

I look down from my window
To the island where I’m held
Listen while you’re sleeping
Darkness is itself

Tomorrow I am disappearing
Cause the trees are amplified
Never ending broadcasts
To which I cannot aspire

Kid the mausoleum’s fallen
And the perfect avenues
Will seem empty without you
And the pink light that bathes the great leaders
is fading
By the time your sun is rising there
Out here it’s turning blue
The silver rockets coming
And the cherry trees, Pyongyang,
I’m leaving

I feel like I’m floating
Persisting autotune
never end, roll on
To the palace of the doom
The temperature keeps falling
Soon there will be no lights
Just a red glow of glass coffins
Watched by someone through the night

Kid the mausoleum’s fallen
And the perfect avenues
Will seem empty without you
And the pink light that bathes the great leaders
is fading
By the time your sun is rising there
Out here it’s turning blue
The silver rockets coming
And the cherry trees, Pyongyang,
I’m leaving

(Soon there will be no light, someone through the night)

Kid the mausoleum’s fallen
And the perfect avenues
Will seem empty without you
And the pink light that bathes the great leaders
is fading
By the time your sun is rising there
Out here it’s turning blue
The silver rockets coming
And the cherry trees, Pyongyang,
I’m leaving

I have a couple at the weekend
G F#m G#m /riff 2
Keeps up camaraderie
And my mind boggles in the muddle,
At the possibilities
And I don’t need the practice.

Become an unconscious man (all for the good)

I feel so unnecessary (We don’t think so you seem starshaped)

[Verse 3]
I wash with new soap, behind the collar
Helps keep down the laundry.
And now I bother, in cold weather,
Because it cleans me mentally.
And I really don’t need the practice

COFFEE & TV – Blur

——————————————————————————-

Tabbed by: Barney Gale
Email: barney.gale@gmail.com

Tuning: Standard (EADGBE)

Hi guys! Submitting a new tab cause there are a couple of issues with
the previous tabs. Some chords are out, some bits aren’t filled in, some
chords are wrong, and some lyrics are a bit off. I hope this is correct,
but if it’s an iota out, drop me a PM and I’ll fix, mkay? 🙂

[—]

(intro)

Do you feel like a chain store? Practically floored
One of many zeros, kicked around, bored
Your ears are full but you’re empty, holding out your heart
To people who never really care how you are

So give me Coffee and TV, easily
I’ve seen so much I’m going blind
And I’m brain-dead, virtually
Sociability, it’s hard enough for me
Take me away form this big bad world
And agree to marry me, so we can start over again

Do you go to the country? It isn’t very far
There’s people there who will hurt you ‘cause of who you are
Your ears are full of their language; there’s wisdom there, you’re sure
Till the words start slurring and you can’t find the door

So give me Coffee and TV, easily
I’ve seen so much I’m going blind
And I’m brain-dead, virtually
Sociability, it’s hard enough for me
Take me away form this big bad world
And agree to marry me, so we can start over again

(solo)

So give me Coffee and TV, easily
I’ve seen so much I’m going blind
And I’m brain-dead, virtually
Sociability, it’s hard enough for me
Take me away form this big bad world
And agree to marry me, so we can start over again

Oh… We could start over again
Oh… We could start over again
Oh… We could start over again
Oh… We could start over again
(repeat to fade)

Cause there are too many of us, in tiny houses here and there
Passing out somewhere but you won’t care

[INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE]



There are too many of us, that’s plain to see
We all believe in praying for our immortality
For a moment I was dislocated, my terror on the loop, elsewhere
Flashing lights are vacating on the big screens everywhere

Cause there are too many of us, in tiny houses here and there
Passing out somewhere but you won’t care

[INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE]



There are too many of us in tiny houses, here and there
All looking through the windows, on everything we share

[GUITAR SOLO]



We pose these questions to our children, leave the mountain stream
And live in tiny houses of the same mistakes we make
Cause there are too many of us, it’s plain to see
All living in tiny houses about our immortality

Here comes the ice cream man
Parked to the end of the road
With a swish of his magic whip
All the people in the party froze
Screwball, chocolate chip
Umbrella in his white glove hand
Shade from the sun was his intention

Here comes the ice cream man
Bouncing up the hill
With a wick, the pumpkin lit
Happy valley cones he fills, for
All the lantern men
Marching down to dawn
Morning come, we fall over

Something new
Something new
Something new

Am F C G (solo)

Here comes the ice cream man
Parked to the end of the road
With a swish of his magic whip
All the people in the party froze
I was only 21
When I watched it on TV
I was racing in my heart and then

Something new
Something new
Something new

Something new
Something you
knew nothing about
Something you

Here comes the ice cream man
Out with his magic whip
Always sold out by nine
So you better come and get it quick: something you, something you
