G#             C#                                       Fm 
She chose the soft centre and took it to bed with her mother.
        G#       F#          C#        G#
And the ideal confusion was just an illusion -
    A#m                      Fm  C
to gain further news of her brother.
G#                  C#                                  Fm 
And the comfort of mother was just an appeal for protection.
        G#             F#             C#     G# A#m
For the cat from next door was found later at 4
                Fm  C
in surgical dissection.

Chorus:
F           D#maj7         A#           F
And I don't want to be the son of any freak.
                    D#maj7      A#                 F
Who for a chocolate centre can take you off the street.
                             A              Dm     Dm        A#
For soon they'll plough the desert and God knows where I'll be.
    F       C    Dm   Dm      G7                            C
Collecting submarine numbers  -  on the main street of the sea.

The Vicar is thicker
And I just can't see through to him
For his cardinal sings
A collection of hymns
And a collection of coins is made after
And who wrote the Bible
Was it Judas or Pilate
Well one cleans his hands
While the other one hangs
But still I continue to stand
