Popsong by Orphan Boy
Popsong
G
The North looked rundown C
Just like it does in British films
G
Oh and it rained so hard C
From Wolverhampton into the Chiltern Hills
G
And in an uninsured old Ford
We drove into The Smoke
C
Across a crowded Camden bar
We met Theodore and the label bloke
G
And he looked sixteen and a half
A sickly schoolboy face
C
Without a trace of time
D
I sold my only popsong, to the boy from EMI
C
Who fiddled with his scarf, licked his lips when he told lies
D
I sold my only popsong for a handshake and a line
C
But something in my heart, weighed so heavy on my mind
G
A London montage C
Just like they do in British films
G
And they would change our parts C
Trim down the intro and lose those rock drum fills
G
And on a balcony we shared
A menthol cigarette
C
He'd drove a van for Prefab Sprout
He'd wrote a press release for Wet Wet Wet
G
We stood gormless all the while
Like four sheet metal workers sons
C
We had no place or style
D
I sold my only popsong, yeah they just pointed where to sign
C
We'd wrestled with our art and we'd wrestled with our time
D
I sold my only popsong, to the lads from EMI
C
One had a thin moustache, the other had thin eyes
G C
And they wore Tweeeeeeeeeeed
G
And it went oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
C (Repeat until end // listen to song for timing)
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
