Mercury Poisoning — текст песни (Graham Parker)

INTRO C C C G Bb F C G Bb F

C G Bb F C G Bb F
No more pretending now, the albatross is dying in its nest C G
The company is crippling me, Bb F Am Am
the worst trying to ruin the best, the best
Bb C
Their promotion`s so lame
Bb C
They could never ever take it to the real ball game
F G
Maybe they think I`m a pet
F
Well I`ve got all the diseases G G G
I`m breaking out in sweat, you bet, because

CHORUS
C G Bb F
I got, Mercury poisoning
C G Bb F
It`s fatal and it don`t get better
C G Bb F
I got, Mercury poisoning Bb C G Bb F C G Bb F
The best kept secret in the we--est, hey the we--est


The boys and me are getting real well known around town
But every time we try to spread the action
Someone always brings it down, down
I ate the orange and I don`t feel well
For them it`s inconvenience for me it`s hell
The geriatric staff think we`re freaks
They couldn`t sell kebabs to the Greeks, the geeks
Inaction speaks, and

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Am G Am G
Is this a Russian conspiracy, no it`s just idiocy
F G
Is this a Chinese burn
Am G Am G
I gotta dinosaur for a representative
F G
It`s got a small brain and refuses to learn

Bb F G
Their promotion`s so lame
Bb F G
They could never ever take it to the real ball game
F G
Listen I ain`t a pet
F G
I aint a token hipster, in your monopoly set G
You bet because

CHORUS, plus
Yeah the best kept secret in the west The best kept secret in the west
