Sheena is a champion of self-reliance
As soon as she needs it
She knows just where the knife is.
Her fingers aren't so fast anymore,
It's been 29 years since she came to these shores
Sheena is a Parasite
Send her back to the sea they cried,
But Sheena spat bile til they let her lie.
She claims she's working for the Lord,
But you know what she's looking for.
Sheena is a Parasite
Sheena's ambition sneers at your routine,
And behind that glass she sits, cold.
If Sheena was buried no one would care,
She hates everyone she knows (no one)
Sheena is a Parasite
Sheena is a Parasite,
Send her back across the sea

on most of the song, Joshua plays the same as Tomethy.)

after this the lyrics kick in and for the next 4 bars it is just feedback and one chord
is vibrated( its a 'd minor' chord)and after that 4 bars of pretty much nothing is a
played for the next 4 bars afterwards

first chorus: same as first 4 bars of the verse but in bar chords
(you might think that it sounds not right when played to the record which is because the
changes slightly throughout these first choruses)
second chorus (4 bars between this and first chorus):for each chord which has been
off counts for a bar.........the first two sections is repeated twice aswell as the third and
sections which are repeated twice

Sorry, haven't worked this out...maybe one day. However, Josh helpfully
