G         A            C#m  D#m
I am the message centre
G     A        C#m D#m
Local and direct
G               A         C#m
Room to room an operator (no calls today dear,
         D#m
they'll just have to wait dear)
G          A              C#m
I call and I collect (so just strike him softly
 D#m
away from the body)

Chorus:
A#m                 C#m
You're made up too shiny today
   G#m        B
(in so much trouble)
A#m                C#m
Thoughts are just pissing away
   G#m        B
(In so much trouble)
          E     F#
It's too much trouble

I am a manager
And I am in control
As the local delegator
(No calls today, dear,
they'll just have to wait, dear)
I offer no guarantee at all
(So don't take it lightly,
you'll put yourself under)

Chorus:
You're made up too shiny today
(In so much trouble)
Your thoughts are just pissing away
(In so much trouble)
A new typeface, a new day (In so much trouble)
You can't remember ten minutes ago
(In so much trouble)
Too much trouble

La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la
(You'll put yourself under)

Chorus:
You're made up too shiny today
(In so much trouble)
Your thoughts are just pissing away
(In so much trouble)
A new typeface, a new day (In so much trouble)
You can't remember ten minutes ago
(In so much trouble)
Just too much trouble

La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la
