         D A G
So, goodbye
Please stay with your own kind
And I'll stay with mine

There's something against us
It's not time
It's not time
So, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

       Bm  D          A
I know i need hardly say
G        A Bm         D      A G A
how much i love your casual way
        Bm              D       A
oh but please put your tounge away
G  A      Bm              D      A
a little higher and were well away

The dark nights are drawing in
And your humour is as black as them
I look at yours, you laugh at mine
And "love" is just a miserable lie

You have destroyed my flower-like life
Not once - twice
You have corrupt my innocent mind
Not once - twice

I know the wind-swept mystical air
It means : I'd like to see your underwear
I recognise that mystical air
It means: I'd like to seize your underwear

What do we get for our trouble and pain ?
Just a rented room in Whalley Range
What do we get for our trouble and pain?
...Whalley Range!

Into the depths of the criminal world
I followed her...

Chorus:
G      A Bm    D      A    G A Bm D A
I need advice, I need advice
G      A Bm    D      A    G A Bm D A
I need advice, I need advice
G  A  Bm              D   A
Nobody ever looks at me twice
G  A  Bm  D  A    G  A   Bm  D A
Nobody ever looks at me twice

I'm just a country-mile behind
The world
I'm just a country-mile behind
The whole world
Oh oh, oh...
I'm just a country-mile behind
The world

I'm just a country-mile behind
The whole world
Oh oh, oh...
Take me when you go
Oh oh, oh...
Take me when you go
Oh oh, oh...
I need advice, I need advice
