Pulp - Inside Susan guitar chord

***********************INSIDE SUSAN**************************

Stylophones and cheesy Farfisa organs at the ready. Listen to

the lyrics of this song; the last twp lines are so beautiful and

true. Definitely Mr. Cocker's best lyrical song.

*VERSE*

The rest of the song mostly uses the intro sequence, but with the G only used

at then end of the "Oh, oh" bits.

Susan catches the bus into town at 10.30 am, sits on the back seat.

The looks at the back of the man infront of her and thinks about his fat

wrinkled neck looks like a large carrot sticking out of his shirt.

Oh, oh.

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, ooooohhhhhhhhh

She adds up the numbers on her bus ticket to see if they make 21. But they

don't. Perhaps she shouldn't bother going to school at all then.

Gm Am

Her friends will be in the yard with their arms folded on their chests,

G Gm

pushing up their breasts to make them look bigger, whilst the boys will be

Am G

too busy playing football to notice.

The bus is waiting on the high street when it suddenly begins to rain

torrentialy and sounds like someone has emptied about a million packets

of dried peas on to the roof of the bus

Oh, oh.

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, ooooohhhhhhhhh

"What if just keeps raining?" she thought." And it was just like living in

an aquarium, only it all shoppers and office workers floating past the window

instead of fish."

Gm Am

She is still thinking of this when the bus goes past Caroline Lee's house

G Gm

Where there was a party last week. There were some German exchange students

Am G

over who were very immature. They ended up jumping out of the bedroom

window

C

One them tried to get her to kiss him on the stairs. So she kicked him.

*Back to normal now!*

Later she was sick because she drank too much cider. Caroline was drunk

as well, she was pretending she was married to a tall boy in glasses and

she had to wear a polo neck for three days afterwards to cover up the

lovebites on her neck

C Am Gm X8

G

Oh, oh. *From here onwards, a high clunking piano bangs out a c7 chord,

Oh, oh regardless of chord changes*

Oh, oh

Oh, ooooohhhhhhhhh

Gm Am G

Gm Am G

By now the bus is going past the markets. Outside is a man who spends

all day forcing felt tip pens into peoples' hands and then trying to get

them to pay for them. She used to work in a pet shop there but she got the

sack for talking to boys when she was supposed to be working. She didn't

really care, she hated the smell of rabbits anyway. "Maybe this bus won't

stop and I'll stay on it until I'm old enough to go to pubs on my own and

it'll drive me a town where people with balck hair are treated especially

I can make lots of money charging fat old men ?5 a time to look up my skirt

and they'll be queing up to take me to dinner." I suppose you think she's

just a silly girl with silly ideas, but I remember her in those days. They

talk about a fire within and all that stuff, well she had that. It's just

that nobody dared jump into her fire and risk being consumed. Instead they

just put in a corner and let her heat up the room, warming their hands and

backsides infront of her and then slagging her off about town. No one ever

really got inside Susan and she always ended up getiing off the bus at the

terminus. And then walking home.

C Am Gm (repeat to fade)

*END (FINALLY)!*
