Intro: B5 A5 G5 F5 (x3)
D5 C#5 G5 A5 E5
I'm glad I don't know what you been thinking lately about yours truly.
D5 C#5 G5 A5 B5
I bet I don't know how or when I'll fall, or if I'll see a movie.
D5 C#5 G5 A5 E5
I'm glad I don't know left from wrong, or just how far I'll get.
F#5 G5 A5 B5
I'm glad I don't know.
F#5 G5 A5
I'm glad I don't know.
D5 C#5 G5 A5 E5
You just play your tricks all day, and run back home to bed.
D5 C#5 G5 A5 B5
I bet when you get there, you just wanna get out, wishing you were dead.
D5 C#5 G5 A5 E5
Or maybe you're real happy, just thrilled to break your bread.
D5 C#5 G5 A5 B5
Well installed or so enthralled, or fuckin' right out of your head.
F#5 G5 A5 B5
I'm glad I don't know.
F#5 G5 A5 B5
I'm glad I don't know.
F#5 G5 A5 B5
I'm glad I don't know.
F#5 G5 A5 B5 A5 G5 F#5
Glad I don't know.
I LIKE TO (E. Dando)
I like to pick things up and drop them down again
I like to go nowhere tell no one where I've been
I dig laughing in your face and telling what I've seen
Hurting myself and being mean
I like to
It's a bitch to be simple
It's a bitch to be free
It's a bitch to come down where you ought to be

-----
From: Alistair Duguid (kma@best.com)
I am attaching the original lyrics of "I am a Rabbit", which I wrote
some time in 1978 or early 1979, and Proud Scum performed for around a
couple of years starting in 1979. From the beginning, it was one of our
most popular songs.
The Lemonhead version does have a few differences. The first line may be
the "dope" line you have - I've listened to it, and I can't quite get
it. The "bliss" line in the bridge though, seems wrong. I think I hear
the "lettuce" line fairly intact when I listen to the Lemonheads.
Even in Proud Scum, we didn't perform it exactly as first written. In
particular, the second line, which I wrote as "That I'm not like a man
at all" was always sung by our singer Jonty Jamrag as "That I am not a
man at all".
An original Proud Scum version is on AK79, repressed recently in an
expanded and updated CD version, by Propeller Records, and (I
understand) still available, at least in New Zealand.
I hope this helps with your lyrics page. Thanks for doing the work to
keep it up. I, for one enjoyed it.
Best wishes,
Alistair (Rabbit) Duguid

"I Am A Rabbit" - Proud Scum
copyright 1979 Alistair Rabbit
--Verse 1--
You say you've seen my kind before
That I'm not sexy any more
Nor are you!
You say I am an animal
That I'm not like a man at all
Well it's true!
--Chorus--
I am a rabbit
I've got to have it
It's force of habit
I'd like to share my carrot
With you
--Verse 2--
You say I've got a one track mind
That I just want to have a grind
With you
Well I don't to marry you
I just want to get through
You
--Chorus x 1--
--Bridge--
You're just a bit of lettuce as far as I'm concerned
I don't want to go with you to the point of no return
That's because I am a rabbit
(solo)
--Chorus x 1--

"3-9-4" from the Lemonheads' _Hate Your Friends_
Song written by Ben Deily.
This interpretation by Marcel Roy (meroy@cc.memphis edu). Comments and
corrections are welcome.
Notes: Listen to the song to get the general feel of the intro music. The tab
below is just what I can pick out; it sounds like there's 2 guitars at times.
Also, chords marked with a star (for example, B5*) sound to me like they should
be phrased like this:
EADGBe
X24400 with the high e- and B- strings free to ring. Note
that this chord shape can be slid up and down the fretboard.

E5 G6 D5/A A5 G5 (etc.) E5
1st verse:
E5 G5 A5
circle of street light, rain on the windshield
E5 G5 A5
seeing you, for the last time
B5* C5* D5*
eyes on the bus stop, not in the window
B5* C5* D5*
seeing you, for the last time
E5 G5
my life had stood, a loaded gun
D5 A5
cornered, til the day
E5 G5
the order passed, identified
D5 A5
and carried me away
E5 G5
do you understand how it ends,
D5 A5
do you understand how it ends?
E5 G5 A5 F5(8th fret)
do you understand... how it ends, now!
Guitar solo:
It starts on B and goes down chromatically to E. Do that Chuck Berry-esque
"bending a note on the B-string up to unison with a fretted note on the
G-string" if you can. Or just start with this B and slide your way down to
this E:
B5: E5:
E A D G B e E A D G B e
X 14 16 16 X X X 7 9 9 X X
Interlude:
There'a a few measures of bass drum, with one E5* hit. Then it's almost the
same as the intro figure:

E5 G6 A5add9 A5 G5 (etc.) E5
2nd verse:
E5 G5 A5
circle of darkness...
E5 G5 A5
the rain that won't, stop!
B5* C5* D5*
eyes on the bustop...
B5* C5* D5*
do you understand how it ends now?
B5 C5 D5
do you understand how it ends now?
B5 C5 D5 D5
do you understand, how it ends... now!
End by sliding down the neck from the D5 chord.
NOTHING TRUE (E. Dando)
It's not me, this disease
It's not you, that's not true
It's our fault, me and you
Most of all, you're not you
I dream of you, it's nothing new
I dream of you, it's nothing true
It's not you, that's not true
It's our fault, me and you
Most of all, you're not you
You're nothing new
You're nothing true
I dream of you, it's nothing you

Intro:
C#5 A5 (x2)
C#5 A5
been a long time since I've seen your face
C#5 A5
I've been down, I've been in lonely places
B5 A5
now you say you're feeling different
B5 A5
now you say you're feeling different
C#5 A5
been a long time since I heard your voice
C#5 A5
telling me lies I always believe in
B5 A5
now you're saying something different
B5 A5
now you're saying something different
F#5 G#5
maybe you've seen it all before
A5 B5
but I'm gonna tell you something more
E5 A5
there's no such thing as a second chance
E5 A5
there's no such thing as another try
B5 A5
there's no such thing as starting all over
B5 A5
all you ever did was make me cry
been a long time since I've seen your eyes
looking at me, looking through me
now you're looking somehow different
now you're looking somehow different
been a long time since I felt your touch
pulling me closer, and I can't fight you
now you're doing something different
now you're doing something different
say you want to give it another go
there's something that you have to know
there's no such thing as a second chance
there's no such thing as another try
there's no such thing as starting all over
all you ever did was make me cry
Interlude (the seriously bent note at the end is probably a B):
C#5 A5 F#5 G#5,
C#5 A5 B5 G#5
C#5 A5 F#5 G#5,
C#5 A5 B5...
there's no such thing as a second chance
there's no such thing as another try
there's no such thing as starting all over
all you ever did was make me cry
there's no such thing as a second chance
there's no such thing as another try
there's no such thing as starting all over
all you ever did was say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!
End on E.
SNEAKYVILLE (E. Dando)
I am god
You are god
How many times
do I have to die

Sneaking up round the jail
Sneaking through the grate
(you know?)
how many times do i have to die
for your sins
I'm getting tired
AMAZING GRACE (Trad. arr. by E. Dando, B. Deily, & J. Peretz)
BELT (E. Dando)
Beein livin' with your shit too long
You know it gotta end
yell to me sing your song
You know its gotta end
You just been around too long to still be my friend
Try and talk it out with you
Lets not pretend
Now's the time
Today's the day to show you what I fail to say
I gotta stick
I got some friends
This is where your story end
Right now we're gonna belt
Right now you don't look so well
That right you can't walk so well
Go on, give it a chance
May I ask for this dance
You're fucked up

Chords interpreted by Marcel Roy (meroy@cc.memphis.edu)
Notes: This cheery li'l song is fairly easy; just two riffs (one for verses,
one for choruses). Alternate between two-note root-fifth power chords and
(inverted) third-root power chords, and you got it.
Suggested chord voicings:

Intro (same as verse riff):
E5 B/D# E5 B/D#
A5 E/G# A5 E/G#
E5 B/D# E5 B/D#
A5 E/G# A5 E/G#
E5 B/D# E5 B/D#
I know a girl, and she's
A5 E/G# A5 E/G#
all that I love in the world
E5 B/D# E5 B/D#
and I don't even know
A5 E/G# A5 E/G#
what she's thinking now
B5
If I could be with
A5 E/G#, A5 E/G#, A5 E/G#
her tonight
B5
I know the arguing
A5 E/G#, A5 E/G#, A5 E/G#
and the spite
We'd shout together and fight
about whatever was wrong
or what's right, it seems
that doesn't matter, but
If we could slow down
and listen hard
Stupid arguing
disregard
Love is heat with a light
love's a sound you can't hear
When we're far far apart,
when we're too near
If I could show you
the picture in my heart
If I could stop the words
before they start....
(repeat verse riff)
(repeat chorus riff)
End on E5.
FED UP (E. Dando)
I asked you what you wanted
You never give me your answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
The gleem in your eye has dove frozen stone cold
Gotta leave your side before it gets too old
Time out, times up
I really gotta go
Gotta find a way to let yoiu know that
I'm fed up with you, don't know what to do
wish you felt it too
I'm fed up with you
sit around and watch TV all day
stare at me and ask me what to say
fuck off
don't just maybe go away
I've said it before
think I'll say it again
louder today
I'm fed up with you
RAT VELVET (E. Dando, J. Peretz, B.Deily)
see iot over there and in between my teeth
rat velvet
it's everything I look
and everywhere I feel
Tooth crack under foot and death's head
rustles near
coup deville in sign
cushioned razor smear
rat velvet
love my mom and pop
they gave me the rope
buttocks scream coagulating
never give up hope
love my dog and cat
shards of summer's blood
tooth defying death relying
Harold's under mud
hate my mothers smirk
hemaroidal hinge
laminated glory faded
mamas on a binge
chew my daddys
underneath the porch
slicey dicey oncee-twicee
grandma baby
pass the torch

Intro riff (also used with verses):
D#5 A#/D G#/C C#5 (x2)
D#5 A#/D G#/C C#5
we hit the highway in the shimmer glare of summer
D#5 A#/D G#/C C#5
and past the window all the trees flew by behind her
D#5 A#/D G#/C C#5
she tuned the radio 'til music was around us
D#5 A#/D G#/C C#5
a rushing calm around my heart I knew had found us
G
it feels so good to me
G#5
I have to make you see
D#5 A#5 G5 G#5
why does this ever have to end?
D#5 A#5 G5 G#5
I know commitment is not the trend
D#5 A#5 G5 G#5
don't misunderstand what I intend
D#5 A#5 G5 G#5
when I say this doesn't have to end
we washed the dishes knowing everything was all right
and there together in the curtain drifting twilight
I know your laughter shouldn't make me feel so scared
how could I doubt you, I know how much you cared
I hear it when you sigh
but I still don't know why
why does this ever have to end?
why can't I give you my heart and hand?
I think you're too scared to understand
this doesn't ever have to end . . . go!
Interlude (x2) : F#5, G#5, A#5, C#5;
F#5, G#5, A#5, D#5!!
Main riff (x2: first with just guitar; second time, w/ bass & drums)
I see you standing by a window in the hall
our eyes collide without a single word at all
the record asks, "will you still need me when I'm 64?"
I can't imagine that I wouldn't need you more
too many tears to cry
I just won't let it die
this doesn't ever have to end
life is so long and my heart won't mend
you are my lover, you're my best friend
but this doesn't ever have to end
End on D#5.

I gotta get out

I'm sittin' up in my room
thinkin' about you, guess
I'm just a wasted boy
with nothing better to do
try not tp pick up the phone
eleven times a day
when do i hope you're not home
I got nothin to stay I gotta stop
it really hurts
8 ways to say you're wrong
20 ways to lie
8 ways to say tomorrow
something better change
been livin with your shit too long
you know it's gotta end
yell to me sing your song
you know it's gotta end
you just been around too long
to still be my friend
try and talk it out with you
let's not pretend
now's the time today's the day
to show you what I fail to say
I gotta stick I got some friends
this is where your story ends right now.
we're gonna belt right now
you don't look so well that's right
you can't walk so well
go on, give it a chance
may I ask for this dance
you're so fucked up

"Falling" off of _Creator_ by the Lemonheads
Song written by Ben Deily.
This interpretation by Marcel Roy (meroy@cc.memphis edu). Comments and
corrections are welcome.
Notes: Maybe it's just my copy of this record, but I can barely hear the
vocals on this album; they're way low in the mix. (Anyone know the lyrics?)
Thus, this is just a bare-bones interpretation.
Intro:
Clean guitar playing some kind of D and then some kind of F# chord. Alternate;
eventually another guitar joins in with the bass. Then there's a few bars of
bass and hi-hat. I'm not sure of the passing notes, but it sounds like this:
Bass:
A-|-5--(etc)---|-5--(etc)----|------------|----------0-|
E-|------------|-----------0-|-2-(etc)----|-2-(etc)----|
D F#
The E and the A are the passing notes.
For the verses, it just goes D to F# as above.
The chorus ("spinning in circles...") is:
E(7th fret) B E(7th fret) A (X2)
Between the second verse and the second chorus, there's a bridge of sorts:
C B (x4)
Outro
E(7th fret) B F#(2nd fret)
and then the song ends in a feedback-drenched scream.

"Postcard"
The Lemonheads
Written and performed by B. Deily on Creator,
the group's second album.
Released on Taang Records. 1988.
Intro:
Dadd4 D Dsus2 D played twice.
Verse 1:
G Am
Once I thought I was more right than wrong,
C G
Painting myself in the corner.
G Am
What I bought and why it takes so long,
C G
Something inside of her warned her.
Chorus:
Cadd9 G
I know that it doesn't matter much
G Am
But I hope we'll, keep in touch.
Cadd9 G
I know that we won't go on as such
G Am
But I hope we'll, keep in touch.
D Dadd4 D
Could it be that hard,
Cadd9
To send you a postcard?
Verse 2:
Fragile smile, a ragged sleeve,
Didn't laugh once to often. (pause)
Before a while, it takes to grieve,
Try to repair what I've done.
Chorus
Middle 8:
Em Cmaj7
You laugh across the kitchen,
D Dadd4 D
At something in a magazine.
Em Cmaj7
I frown across the table,
D Dadd4 D
So blunt, I'm never seen.
Em Cmaj7
Your hair falls in your eyes as you ask
Dadd4 D Dsus2 D
"What do you mean?"
Verse 3:
See yourself never satisfied,
In the clothes that you try now.
I swore myself, I said I'd never cry.
Close to saying goodbye now.
Last Chorus:
I know that it doesn't matter much
But I'm hoping to keep in touch.
I know that we won't go on as such
But I'm hoping to keep in touch.
Could it be that hard,
To send me a postcard?
Outro:
Dadd4 D Dsus2 D played twice
Plucking the fourth and sixth strings alternately whilst keeping
the chord changes going ends the song.
Comments:
In the verses I'm not convinced that it's not Cadd9 instead of C.
Try it too.
In verse 2, "Before a while, it takes to grieve", I have no idea
if the word is grieve. It could be weave, breathe etc.

"Sunday" off of _Creator_ by the Lemonheads
Song written by Ben Deily.
This interpretation by Marcel Roy (meroy@cc.memphis edu). Comments and
corrections are welcome.
Notes: Maybe it's just my copy of this record, but I can barely hear the
vocals on this album; they're way low in the mix. (Anyone know the lyrics?)
Thus, this is just a bare-bones interpretation.
Intro:
The song begins with the bass playing chords. Listen to the song for the
strumming pattern:
Bass:
G-|-7---------|-9---------|-4---------|-7---------|
D-|-0---------|-0---------|-0---------|-0---------|
(D) (Dadd9) (D6) (D)
One, then another guitar joins in and they jam on D for a while.
Verses:
A G F G (x4)
E(open) F (x2)
D B (x2)
Chorus:
C F
all the way to Sunday...
C F
.............. Sunday...
Post-chorus:
B (or C?) A (x2)
F(8th fret) D (x2)
The rest of the song is pretty much the same way, with a great melodic guitar
solo thrown in over the last chorus for good measure.

And then I went to the end of it, and the old man, well, he's ready to die.
And he said, "Well, Tom, sincerity's the best gimmick. Remember that."
And I say, "All right, be sincere, that'll win it?" He said, "That's it.
Sincerity and honesty," he said, "will do it. It'll trick 'em every time."
I said, "Well, sincerity and honesty; I never tried that."

Boy the way Glen Miller played
songs that made the hit parade
guys like us we had it made
those were the days
this could be habitual
this could be a ritual
grown up learned to take it slow
don't ever go, don't ever go
those were the days
burning down a blaze
downtown stays
don't ever go
you know I need you so take it slow

CAZZO DI FERRO (E. Dando/C. Brennan)
Sei proprio un grasso menefregista
Sei dal lontano il piu
coatto uomo nel mondo
Sei una testa di cazzo-
Lato di ferro
Sei una testa di cazzo
Guardo la tivu ogni pomeriggio
Quando l'accendo, vedo
un gran cazzo - l'odio e l'amo
che Dio-sei magico
Sure he's had his share of problems,
his life has been tough
But that's no excuse to be so fucking gruff
Mark Sanger serves him ham, though he doesn't like pork
He'd rather eat his own shit with a knife and a fork
Basta con lo stronzo - non lo mangia, prego!
Lato di ferro - ti voglio bene
Lato di ferro, una domanda
Puoi dirmi se il tuo piatto e buono
Mi domandavo
You are really a fat person who does not give a fuck
You are by far the most coarse man in the world
You are a head of a dick, Ironside
I watch TV every afternoon
When I turn it on, I see a big dick -
I hate it and I love it
What a God - you are fabulous
Cero, lui ha un sacco di problemi, la sua vita e dura
Ma non c'e nessuna scusa essere tanto burbero
Mark Sanger gli serve prosciutto,
benche non gli piace carne di maiala
Preferirebbe mangiare il suo stronzo con un coltello ed una forchetta
Enough with the shit, don't eat it please!
Ironside, I'm very fond of you
Ironside, a query
Can you tell me if your dish is good?
I was wondering

ANYWAY (B. Deily)
There was a time, I would've trusted you
There was a time, that I would give it all away
There was a time, i'd give it just to you
There was a time, it didn't matter
What you'd say
What you'd say
I loved you so but that was long ago
When it only takes a day
It doesn't matter anyway
It doesn't matter anyway
Lying on my own again
Standing for whatever comes along
You'll never be alone again
You're only lonely when you let yourself get strong
get too strong
(chorus)
Look at your catastrophe
Look at me how it has to be
Say goodbye it's all the past to me
Just don't try
not the last to be
free and stupid in the sunrise
Summer blowin' by and shining in the trees
I get the feeling that you feel no suprise
unexpected morning had me on my knees
on my knees

Just don't ask me what it was
A5 B5
Just don't ask me what it was
A5 B5
Just don't ask me what it was
Maybe it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud
They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
E B5 A5 B5 E B5 A5 B5
Yes, I think I'm okay
Walked into the door again
If you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway
I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
E B5
My name is Luka
A5 B5
I live on the second floor
E B5
I live upstairs from you
A B5
Yes I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night

Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight

Just don't ask me what it was

Just don't ask me what it was
And they only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore

You just don't argue anymore

Lyrics:
Now satan is all over this world
You wanna find him
I wanna find him
now satan is everything you are
Everything I am
When I pledge
I'm not like you
I'm not like him
I'm so nice thing
no such like him
now the soul he didn't see it
he didn't mean it
he didn't see it
my ruthie doll
blind as a bat
slow as a turtle
I give up to you right now my lord

From: Alistair Duguid (kma@best.com)
I am attaching the original lyrics of "I am a Rabbit", which I wrote
some time in 1978 or early 1979, and Proud Scum performed for around a
couple of years starting in 1979. From the beginning, it was one of our
most popular songs.
The Lemonhead version does have a few differences. The first line may be
the "dope" line you have - I've listened to it, and I can't quite get
it. The "bliss" line in the bridge though, seems wrong. I think I hear
the "lettuce" line fairly intact when I listen to the Lemonheads.
Even in Proud Scum, we didn't perform it exactly as first written. In
particular, the second line, which I wrote as "That I'm not like a man
at all" was always sung by our singer Jonty Jamrag as "That I am not a
man at all".
An original Proud Scum version is on AK79, repressed recently in an
expanded and updated CD version, by Propeller Records, and (I
understand) still available, at least in New Zealand.
I hope this helps with your lyrics page. Thanks for doing the work to
keep it up. I, for one enjoyed it.
Best wishes,
Alistair (Rabbit) Duguid

--Verse 1--
You say you've seen my kind before
That I'm not sexy any more
Nor are you!
You say I am an animal
That I'm not like a man at all
Well it's true!
--Chorus--
I am a rabbit
I've got to have it
It's force of habit
I'd like to share my carrot
With you
--Verse 2--
You say I've got a one track mind
That I just want to have a grind
With you
Well I don't to marry you
I just want to get through
You
--Chorus x 1--
--Bridge--
You're just a bit of lettuce as far as I'm concerned
I don't want to go with you to the point of no return
That's because I am a rabbit
