C                  D
Wrote this poem
D                        C          D
called "the floods roll on"
D                      C         D
he said this ain't yours, 
D                    C        D
where'd you get it from?
D                              C
you must have stole it from a book,
       D
oh yeah
D                               C       D
you must have stole it from a book.
D                C       D
'cause you ain't frail
D             C
you ain't beautiful,
D           C
and I don't fancy you 
D
at all.

You'd be a ruin

if looks could kill
C           D
23 A, Swan Hill


Stiff with rage
screaming at the sky
innocence breaks
says she wants to die
I'm assuming I'm alive
oh yeah
I'm assuming I'm alive
she pushes and she pulls
my legs go weak
in fascinating terror

G
The whole world moves 
G
and I'm standing still
C            D
in 23A Swan Hill

E                        G D
and it's always raining
E                          G D
and you never ask why
E                             G D
you never give yourself a shot
G                        C           D
you just sit and watch your life go by

Last time do a : E|7-6-5-12|


Kicking stones 
at a still life
want to pull it down 
slash it slash it
there must be some way out here
there must be some way out here
this ain't right
there must be more to life
than breaking and entering
doing people's heads in
G
alcohol, nicotine
G                       G
thinking what I might have been

And the whole world moves 
and I'm standing still 
in 23 A, Swan Hill

Altough i do have some of "Knees of my heart" and "Jerkin' Crokus".
We'll see.

About artist:

Ian Hunter (born Ian Hunter Patterson, 3 June 1939, Oswestry, Shropshire) is an English singer-songwriter. He was the lead singer of the English rock band Mott the Hoople from its inception in 1969 to its dissolution in 1974. Hunter was a musician and songwriter before Mott the Hoople, and he continued in this vein after he left the band. As the leading figure in Mott, but facing ill-health and disillusioned with commercial success, he embarked on a solo career, often in collaboration with Mott's final guitarist Mick Ronson, who was well-known as David Bowie's sideman and arranger from the Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars period.[1]

Mott fhe Hoople achieved a certain level of commercial success and a small but devoted fan base. As a solo artist Hunter at times made the charts while most consistently releasing lesser-known but more wide-ranging works outside the rock mainstream. Among his best-known solo records are "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" and "Cleveland Rocks," made famous from a cover version on The Drew Carey Show, an American TV series.
