Not even the lyrics for this one is anywhere online. A new-ish band. Another track from the inimitable Steve May, whose 8track.com mixes should be part of your daily music regimen.
The song’s in irritating Bb major, so do what I do and capo up a fret. All chords below are relative to the capo. If you’re not playing along with the music then just play whatever. Of course you know this. I’m not trying to tell you how to play your instrument. And once again, there are lyrics below that I’ve assuredly misheard. Mr. Withered Hand: the last time I did this, Vic Godard himself came onto my blog and posted the correct lyrics to his song (though he missed a verse…). I welcome you to rise to the challenge.

You must be joking I'd deny
A
Tears are forming in my eyes
D
I'm over-sensitive
A
I'm hyper-sensitized
Bm D A
And it makes me feel like I am alive
Asus4
A Asus4
There's nothing to dislike
A
I don't need lights on my push-bike
D A
My light comes from inside
Bm D A
Oh yeah, it makes me feel like I am alive
Bm D
And when the winter turns to springtime
A Bm
Like the springtime turns to summer
Bm D A
We'll discover how we lost another year

I saw you at the embassy
A
We're both crippled socially
D A
Oh worlds collide when we converse
Bm D A
We're singing love is a disease odd as a curse
A Asus4
We wrote "Pavement" on our shoes
A
We stole our biro when we paid our dues
D
We paid our respects
A
We wrote "Confusion is Sex"
Bm D A
And on your shoulder bag I wrote "The Silver Jews"
Bm D
And the ice turned into water
A Bm
And the water turned to gases
Bm D A
Steaming glasses on the frosty afternoon
Bm D
And her lips were warm her hands were cold
A Bm
I never thought I'd feel this old
Bm D A
This isn't gray hair just the first light of a new dawn
A / Asus4
A Asus4
I saw you at the embassy
