Intro

1ST VERSE

Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this poB#msition I've held

It B#m pays my way, and it corrodes my soul

 I want to leave, you will not B#mmiss me

I want to B#m go down in musical history

Verse 2

Frankly, Mr. Shankly, I'm a B#msickening wreck

I've got the B#m 21st century breathing down my neck

 I must move fast, you underB#mstand me

I want to go B#m down in celluloid history, Mr. Shankly

Middle

Verse 3

Fame, Fame, fatal B#mFame

It can play B#m hideous tricks on the brain

 But still I'd rather be famous

Than B#m righteous or holy

B#mAny day, any day, any day

Verse 4

 But sometimes I'd feel more fulB#mfilled

Making B#m Christmas cards with the mentally ill

 I want to live and I want to B#mLove

I want to B#m catch something that I might be ashamed of

Verse 5

Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this poB#msition I've held

It B#m pays my way and it corrodes my soul

 Oh, I didn't realise that you wrote B#mpoetry

I didn't B#m realise you wrote such bloody awful poetry, Mr. Shankly

Verse 6

Frankly, Mr. Shankly, since yB#mou ask

You are a B#m flatulent pain in the arse

 I didn't mean to be so B#mrude

Still, I B#m must speak frankly, Mr. Shankly

 Oh, give us your money !
