We'd often try in vain to change it all
We couldn't help but keep ourselves from sinning

My Only Vice (Is The Fantastic Prices I Charge For Being Eaten Alive)
(Chords supplied by Hans Peters)
Use this beat line D-C-G-G
D C G
Simply Lorraine sings for a while
In a three-octave harmonica style
C C D C G G
It's easy to see her harmony stabbing at my songs from behind
Trying to stick her cosmic philosopher's words into rhymes......
Nobody can tell it the same
To her evcrything's just like a game
But she'll make it seem some big machine's driving you clean outa your mind
Come on admit it, that's just the limit, we've travelled from mad to sublime
Chorus:
Em C D
Oh she's a lady from a background of pearls
Who's tormenting and bending my world
Em D C G C D G D C G D C G
My only vice is the fantastic prices I charge for being eaten alive. . .
*******************
Muriel the Actor
C
She, got my number and she - chasing me so far
F
Me, out of slumber, I can do with no faut-pas
G F
Mixed-up and bleeding, I's high on beleiving
C
It's all surreal
Slip on a T-shirt, me - gotta look so cool
Me Biba braces are making me so cruel
She, dinosaur and me, her He-whore
Sleep Muriel
Chorus:
C G
Oh! See her move so right in her big baggy strides
F C
And her golden top made of satin
See her wriggle her hips, take the almighty piss
This is Muriel the Actor who's rapping,
G F C
Muriel the actor she's rapping ping - ping
*******************
