   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

    C                       D

       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

we've been up all night
