G# G#7 D# D#7
Hanging on like hell to the safety chain
G# G#7 D# D#7
Lifebuoy crash lands in pain
G# G#7 D# D#7
All the lovers are in retreat
G# G#7 D# D#7
Out on the edge of the nervous street
Aching aching
So deaf to the call of the wild
Deaf to the first born's whispering plea
Expanding frame the city is in heat
Burning at the edges of the lonely street
E E
But I want to hold your precious head
E B C#
I will not leave you nor pretend my friend
Fm C
I wanna hold you till the end
Hey mama didn't know we'd end up here
The snapshot is all tiles and red walls
Down at the squatter's camps they cannot compete
The shepherd has been bound up by his hands and his feet
