about

The song that gave us this bad idea in the first place.

lyrics

(when our) BOX SET (hits your doorstep)

G E
Couldn’t blame you if you never heard of me or the boys
G E
We do the dinosaur thing honey, kiddie noise

C G F#-G slide
Half - drunk old hippies here, letting you down…
C G F#-G slide
Just a bunch of delusional local clowns
F
We get your frown..

Bridge 1
E A
But our flowers will squirt if it goes upside down
E A
With one word irony-free about our powerful sound
B D
…And if that’s Clive on the phone, well, we’re leaving this town!

Verse
G E
We had a run in the eighties when the scene was so meek (it was meek!)
G E
When everybody’s monkey’s cousin wasn’t doing this thing

C G F#-G
Since then we’ve been dill-e-tant-ing around
C G F#-G
Found no easier way to gain the renoun
F
You owe us now….

Bridge 2

E A
That’s right baby the dinosaur thing
E A
We do the brontosaurus in the big top ring
B D E
And play lead guitar when we can no longer sing!

(solo, of course)


Chorus
F#7
But when our box set,
B
hits your door step
F#7 B
It’s gonna be our finest hour
A7
Read our life and death
D
in the booklet
B F -E
Know the nowhere we’ve been before no-ow !

Take E up to twelfth fret

Key change (up a whole step to new verse)
A F#
And when we’ve finally paid all our dinosaur dues
A F#
We’ll make that record where we rediscover the blues
D A G#-A (slide)
Anyway at all we can let you down
D A G#-A (slide)
Same old harmless flea-bitten local clowns
G F#
You’re looking down…on now….

E (four measures)

Chorus

F#7
But when our box set,
B
hits your door step
F#7 B
It’s gonna be our finest hour
A7
Read our life and death
D
in the booklet

B F -E
Know the nowhere we been before now…..
