C                            
Hello, good evening, welcome 

   F            
to nothing much 

  C                           
A no holds barred half nelson 

        F
and the loving touch 

    Am              F   
The comfort and the joy 

           C    
of feeling lost 

         Am          F   
With the only living boy 

       C     
in New Cross 

(C,F,C,F etc)

C                     
Fill another suitcase 

             F    
with another haul 

   C                           
Of hotel towels and toothpaste 

        F             
and the bathroom wall 

C                                        
Then wipe the lipstick heart and flowers 

         F                
from the glass and chrome 

     C                                 
Take five or six hot baths and showers 

    F            
and come on home 

       Am                     F 
To the comfort and the joy of feeling lost 

         Am          F   
With the only living boy 

   C         
in New Cross 


C                                   
I've teamed up with the hippies now 

            F               
I've got my fringe unfurled 

               C                           
I want to give peace, love and kisses out

              F              
to this whole stinking world 

    Am           F                  C       
The gypsies, the travellers and the thieves 

    Am                 F           C      
The good, the bad, the average and unique 

    Am          F             C     
The grebos, the crusties, the goths 

        Am          F   
And the only living boy 

   C         
in New Cross 

(C,F,C,F)

C                                      
Eyes down and I'll keep you up to date, Two fat ladies 1988 

F                                
The safe sixteen lovers who lied , Purleys' queen and mother makes five 

C                                       
Butchered bakers, deaf and dumb waiters 

F                                       
Marble arch criminals and clause 28'ers 

C                                    
Authors, authors, plastered outcasts 

F                                      
Locked up daughters, rock'n'roll stars 

C                             
Goodbye Rudy, David and Rosie 

F                    
Abraham and Julianne and everyone who knows me 


    Am           F                  C       
The gypsies, the travellers and the thieves 

    Am                 F           C      
The good, the bad, the average and unique 

    Am          F                     C
The grebos, the crusties, and you and I

Am                   F       
Hello, good evening, welcome 

    C       
and Goodbye
