C D
I put on my raincoat to make it rain

Em D
and sure enough the skies opened up again

C D
I dreamed of you as I walked to the shops,

Bm Em
you were dancing with the wallies on Top of the Pops

C C/B D
once in a while

C C/B D
Gennady Gerasimov drops his smile

C D
and you can see that his aim's

Bm Em
a portfolio pregnant with gains

C C/B D
he's been up all night

C C/B Am G
moving the goalposts

Bm
like a jackdaw with a fiery brand,

Em
spread the news all over this land

Am
robin hood and his merry men

D
are never never never coming back again

C D
I don't believe that love should be pain

Em D
so would you please rub my back again

I think it's safe to leave them in the park

Bm Em
let's blow out the candles and kiss in the dark


C C/B D
heavens above

C C/B D
could this sticky stuff really be love

C D Bm Em
don't get dressed yet not yet

C C/B D
we've been up all night
