Standard (EADGBE)

 You are watching a programme for exactly an hour

 All of these hours they will add up to a day

 You will sit there till they're done now there are 24 to play

 And there are rims around your eyelballs by the 7th or the 8th

 But if you go to sleep tonight you will be older when you wake

 And you say one man is the parachute and the other is the knife that cuts

 the brakes

First we were born then we ran slowly out of luck

 You are still not Charles Bukowski and i am not Diane Cluck

 And i would suck the life from you if there was any left to suck

 And i would love you if you told me there was something there to love

 I would marry you for money

 I would marry you for money

 I would marry you for money if it stuck

 I would marry you for money but i don't suppose you'll ever have enough

 Man on the screen he has done more in a minute

 Than you have achieved in your whole entire life

 When you finally realise i was the best thing you had init

 We'll be closing up your eyelids on the bed on which you die

 And i'll be sorry if it happens to you

Sorry if it happens to you

Sorry if it happens to you but

 They say one life is the cancer and another is the blade that

 makes the cut

24 for every year that we have slipped

Day by day into the neck of the abyss

 And i am 24 today i don't believe i'll sit

 Through another year of this while you are sewing up your lips

 And i'll be sorry that you happened to me

Sorry that you happened to me

Sorry that you happened to me but

 They say that one man is the accident the other is the hand that stops the

blood

 And i am looking for the other one, for the hand to stop the blood
