G
Left wing, savoir faire
Em
Ageing flicks of my thin brown hair
C
Like an elegy, soaking me
Am
Drenched in the language of social mobility
G
But I don’t seem to mind,
Em
The gruesome link between people and time
C
It’s an enemy telling me
Am
The wheels of profit Are circling in the opposite

Chorus

G     Em      C
Life don’t animate
                        G
Just creeps up on you slowly.
  G    G/F# Em
Surely holy water flows 
  G    G/F# Em
the same as normal water does?
G     Em      C
Life don’t animate
                        G
Just creeps up on you slowly.
     C   G6  Am               Em
In Little Italy I re-adhere.


Verse 2

G
Sojourn in my guilt
Em
Wrestle words as the apostrophes wilt
C
Let the elegiac, question why
Am
Accidents happen or the well will dry
G
So some come kill me quick
Em
Tie me down to an anodyne drip
C
To the will of god and the people with sticks
Am
For filled with the shrill They show much better that

Chorus

G     Em      C
Life don’t animate
                        G
Just creeps up on you slowly.
  G    G/F# Em
Surely holy water flows 
  G    G/F# Em
the same as normal water does?

G     Em      C
Life don’t animate
                        G
Just creeps up on you slowly.
  G    G/F# Em
Surely holy water flows 
  G    G/F# Em
the same as normal water does?

     C   G6  Am               Em
In Little Italy I re-adhere.
     C   G6  Am               Em
In Little Italy I re-adhere.
     C   G6  Am               
In Little Italy
