Notice

Important - US version does not have the intro as it uses an earlier mix of the song, so don't say this is wrong cos of that!!!!

This is not exactly how it is arranged on the album, but how you would play it live using one guitarist (as Blur would). On the recording there are some layered guitars which i may add later but they are not really necessary live as it sounds fantastic anyway. Graham Coxon used his Les Paul with the bridge pickup selected with very heavy distortion for the intro, chorus and interlude and the neck pick up with a bit of tremelo for the verses.

Lyrics

the pay-me girl has had enough of the bleeps
so she takes a bus into the country
although she got herself rosy cheeks
she didn't even have money to apy the rent
landlord says that she's out in a week
what a shame she was just getting comfy
now she's eating chocolate to induce sleep
and in a chemical world
it's very, very, very cheap

and i don't know about you
but they're putting the holes in
yes, yes
it's been a hell of a do
they've been putting the holes in
yes, yes, yes

peeping thomas has a very nice view
across the street at the exhibisionist
these townies they never speak to you
just stick together so they never get lonely
i'm feeling lead feeling quite light headed
i'll have to sit down and have some sugary tea
in a chemical world, in a chemical world
it's very, very, very cheap

and i don't know about you
but they're putting the holes in
yes, yes
it's been a hell of a do
they've been putting the holes in
yes, yes, yes

and i don't know about you
but they're putting the holes in
yes, yes
it's been a hell of a do
they've been putting the holes in
yes, yes, yes
and now she's right out of view
they've been putting the holes in
yes, yes
and i don't know about you
but they're putting the holes in
yes, yes

until you can see right through
until you can see right through
until you can see right through
