Always the last to Know

Del Amitri
Intro (A F#m D A F#m E)
              A
So yore in love with some one else
             F#m
Some one who burns with in your soul
         D          E             A
And it looks like I am the Las to know
               A
I Hear you've never felt so alive
            F#m
So much desire beyond control?
        D       E              A
and as usual I am the last to know

             A
The last to know how you're feeling

The last to know where you are

The last to know If you're happy
             E
Or if he treating you like I treated you
               D/A?                     A
Or if he's  cruel I'll be the last to Know

                A
We spent the summer out beyond the bay
                F#m
and you said these are such perfect days
            D                                        A
But if the bomb drops baby I want to be the last to know

But now you're living up behind the hill
                F#m
And though we share the same city and feel the sane sun\
             D          E                  A
When your winter come I'll be the last to know

             A
The last to know how you're feeling

The last to know where you are

The last to know If you're happy now
             E
Or if he pleading with you like I pleaded with you
               D/A?                     A
Don't let me  be the last to Know

Break
   Bm            E                        Bm         A
Creations gone crazy ( that ain't so bad) TV's Gone Mad That ain't so crazy
 Bm                                    A
Now you're the only sane thing that I have

Instrumental (A F#m D A F#m E) Same as intro

Always last to know how you're feeling

The last to know where you are

The last to know If you're ' happy
             E
Or if he cheating on you  like I cheated on you
               D/A?                     A
Oh oh oh ohohh

You were the last to know

you were the last to know
Don't let be the last to know

The last to know

KISS THIS THING GOODBYE
Del Amitri

Intro: G C/G  (3 times) D7

G                             C/G
It seems like weeks since you looked to me baby
     G                  C/G
Without that look of distaste
G                     C/G
I don't know why your feelings are changing
         D7
But I've seen it in your face
G                    C/G
All these times when our lips were kissing
    G                    D7
Our tongues were telling lies
    G               C/G
And all those signs I've been missing
     A7                  D7
Were right there in your eyes
   C                                       G
So come on babe, let's kiss this thing goodbye
C                         G     C
Let's kiss this thing goodbye

I sometimes feel when we're together baby
Everything has turned out wrong
And I know you feel exactly the same way
But sill we carry on
I've been waiting up by the window
Watching these cars go by
And I tell myself that I'll go through the motion
For the last time tonight
So come on babe, let's kiss this thing goodbye, Let's kis this thing goodbye

Now I'm watching the tunes foul up the sunrise
I'm watching the lights fade away
And I'm hoping tonight that I'll open the door
And you'll stand here and say

Come on babe, let's kiss this thing
Come on babe, let's kiss this thing goodbye
Better make it sooner than later Before it all turns sour
Don't you know we'd better kiss this thing goodbye, Come on babe, let's kiss thi
s thing

==============================

                   Nothing Ever Happens


        Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed
        And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats
        Janitors padlock the gates
        For security guards to patrol
        And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink
        While the married ones turn on a chat show

        And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

        Gentlemen time please, you know we can't serve anymore
        Now the traffic lights change to stop, when there's nothing to go
        And by five o'clock everything's dead
        And every third car is a cab
        And ignorant people sleep in their bed
        Like the doped white mice in the college lab


        Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
        The needle returns to the start of the song
        And we all sing along like before

        And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

        Telephone exchanges click while there's nobody there
        The Martians could land in the carpark and no one would care
        Close-circuit cameras in department stores
        Shoot the same movie everyday
        And the stars of these films neither die nor get killed
        Just survive constant action replay

        Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
        The needle returns to the start of the song
        And we all sing along like before

        And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

        Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs
        While angry from Manchester writes to complain about
        All the repeats on TV
        And computer terminals report some gains
        In the values of copper and tin
        While American businessmen snap up Van Goghs
        For the price of a hospital wing

        Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
        The needle returns to the start of the song
        And we all sing along like before
        Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
        They'll burn down the synagogues at six o'clock
        And we'll all go along like before

        And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
