Billys Smart Circus

Em
To die for his mother country

            C
isn't every fathers wish

              D
But if you're ever feeling hungry

Em
feast your eyes on this

Em
Bullied beat up cabbaged kids

      C
to be patched up by the nurse

D
who's carrying the baggage in

Em
for the private patients first


(Em, C, D, Em)
(Em, C, D, Em)


Em
and the doctor's praying to Buddha

C
"Send me to another town!"

D
A shovelful of sugar

                Em
won't help that medicine go down

Em
As the actress said to the bishop

C
I stand accused your Grace

       D
of the seven deadly cynicisms

      Em
and a total lack of faith



G                 C              D    Bm
And if I put this gun against my head

G            C               D
and pull the trigger I'll be dead

G        C            D
But if I listen to my heart

         Bm               G
it say's Billy that ain't smart

           C              D
so I'll do something else instead



Em
(Billy's smart, Bily's smart, circus for the bleeding hearts
feed the world, heal the sick, take the piss out of the shit
live your life without a net, stick your head down a lion's neck
and listen to the people cheer send in the clowns
don't bother they're here)


Em
To die for his mother's country

           C
isn't every fathers wish

              D
But if you're ever feeling hungry

Em
feast your eyes on this

Em
under funded O.A.P.s

C
turn to life of crime

D                               Em
The great cucumber robberies of 1989

Em
Send 'em down and bang 'em up

     C
in a South London maisonette

D
unlicensed and unregistered

             Em
it shouldn't happen to a vet

Em
As the actress said to the bishop

C
the Rabbi and the Priest

D
My eyes have seen the glory

Em
I'm a born again atheist


G                 C              D    Bm
And if I put this gun against my head

G            C               D
and pull the trigger I'll be dead

G        C            D
But if I listen to my heart

Bm                        G
it say's Billy that ain't smart

              C            D
so I'll shoot someone else instead

G                 C              D    Bm
And if I put this gun against my head

G            C               D
and pull the trigger I'll be dead

G        C            D
But if I listen to my heart

Bm                        G
it say's Billy that ain't smart

              C            D
so I'll shoot someone else instead
