	  F		  C		
There is misery in all I hear and see,
	  A#          F
from the people on T.V.
	     D#		    A#
After their tea when life begins again,
            Gm           C
they'll be happier than me

There are a thousand meals being made on Saturday
From the view I saw today
I took a bet inside the launderette
With a girl from Wallasey

              F                   C
She spoke in dialect, I could not understand,
         A#
but one thing that
           F                  D#            A# 
She made clear, there was no coming on to her,
              F
there was no way.

There's misery in all I hear and see
From people on TV
After their tea when life begins again
They'll be happier than me

There are a thousand meals being made on Saturday
From the view I saw today
I took a bet inside the launderette
With a girl from Wallasey

She spoke in dialect I could not understand
But one thing that she made clear
There was no coming on to her,
there was no intellect, that she

Gm		       F/A	
Could respect, if it couldn't see,
	  D#                Dm
that the girl just wants to be
       A#		 F
Left alone with Marx and Engels for awhile,
       D#                  Dm        G
She's writing in style, of any riot girl.
