Sight for sore eyes (a love song) (2008)

Written for my Art Brut franchise band, Art Brut 53310761

(*C maj)                                                C             (fmaj/c)

When a man comes home

                        fmaj

From his working day

c

With a heart that’s crying softly

            (fmaj)              G / G7

For the ghosts of yesterday

(c )                               C

When the soulshot world

                        Fmaj – am7

Shrugs and turns again

                        C / Cmin

There’s a shiver of surrender

            G                                 (cmaj)

Hidden in the whisky’s flames

chorrrus

            C – F -C

But youuuuuuuuu

                                    C – F -C

You’re a sight for sore eyes

Since I metcha off the train

                                                G / G7

I’ve been feeling twelve foot high

                        C – F -C

And youuuuuu

                        Fmaj - Amin

You’re a sight for sore eyes

            C                                             G – G7                                    C(7) – F(maj7) - C

Gonna pin you to the floor and stick me head between yer thighs

When I sit alone

And the sky scums black

And I’m smoking my gormless way

To a heart attack

Cause there’s something wrong

All my hope has gone

Through these years of treading quicksand

With a bruised and broken back

But youuuuuuuuu

You’re a sight for sore eyes

Gonna love you more tomorrow

Than I loved you yesterday

And youuuuuu

Hope you don’t think I’m bad

Cause when you went down on me I was thinking of your dad

And youuu

Hope you don’t think it’s queer

Gonna wait till you’re asleep

Then I’m gonna wank into your ear

And youuuu

Hope you don’t think it’s wrong

You know I’d marry you tomorrow

If you weren’t such a fucking mong
