I want to B#m go down in musical history
Verse 2
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, I'm a B#msickening wreck

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

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

Frankly, Mr. Shankly, since yB#mou ask
You are a B#m flatulent pain in the arse
