Graham Parker & The Rumour - Three Chords Good lyrics

rate me

I TOOK ONE STEP INTO THE ABYSS

ONE STEP INTO THE VOID

ONE STEP FURTHER THAN I’VE EVER BEEN

INTO SOMETHING I MIGHT WANNA AVOID

STANDING ON THE CORNER OF NOWHERE

MY HANDS OUT FLAPPING LIKE BIRDS

PULLING SONGS OUTTA MY HEAD LIKE CHERRIES

AND THE TREES STARTED SINGING THE WORDS

YEAH THE TREES STARTED SINGING THE WORDS

SURROUDED BY REAR VIEW MIRRORS

THE COLORS OF A PRISMATIC WORLD

HIGH AS A MONKEY IN A BANYAN TREE

WHATEVER IT IS THAT GIRL PUT A SPELL ON ME

YEAH BABY PUT A SPELL ON ME

AND IT’S ONE STEP INTO THE FIRE

WHERE THE CAULDRON OF THE EARTH BURNS HOT

AND COMING IN MY DIRECTION

WAS A CROWD FROM A PARKING LOT

THEN YOU COME ALONG WITH THAT DUCK FOOT WALK

RIGHT OUT OF OUR DOWNTOWN HOTEL

LOOKING LIKE SOMEBODY WHO OWNS THE PLACE

AND I WANNA FALL UNDER YOUR SPELL

YEAH I WANNA FALL UNDER YOUR SPELL

JUST THEN THE SUN COMES OUT, MY HEAD CLEARS UP

I GOT TEN BUCKS IN MY POCKET FOR A COFFEE CUP

SOMETHING BETWEEN US NOW IS UNDERSTOOD

AND I’M THREE CHORDS GOOD

YEAH I’M THREE CHORDS GOOD

LET’S GO NOW!

GOT MY FOOT IN THE DOOR DOWN IN TREACLE TOWN

A HORSE NAMED HAMMER PUT THE HAMMER DOWN

A BLACK SEAGULL IN A BLACK HAT

GAVE ME SOMETHING SPECIAL I REMEMBER THAT

WELL IT MUST HAVE BEEN SOMETHING

I WANTED DEARLY

YOU DON’T FORGET A THING LIKE THAT CLEARLY

LIKE YOU COMING ROUND LOOKING SASSY AND FREE

WHATEVER IT IS THAT GIRL PUT A SPELL ON ME

YEAH BABY PUT A SPELL ON ME

THEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU GOT IT ALL TOGETHER

WHEN SOMETHING CLIPS YOU UPSIDE THE HEAD

A CRACK IN THE WALL WHERE A LITTLE

FACE PEEKS THROUGH AND

KNOCKS YOU ON YOUR HEELS INSTEAD

AND I’M STANDING, STANDING ON

THE CORNER OF NOWHERE

MY HANDS OUT FLAPPING LIKE BIRDS

I’M PULLING STUFF OUTA MY HEAD LIKE CHERRIES

AND THE TREES STARTED SINGING THE WORDS

YEAH THE TREES STARTED SINGING THE WORDS

LET’S GO NOW!

HIGH AS A MONKEY IN A BANYAN TREE

HIGH AS A MONKEY IN A BANYAN TREE

WHATEVER IT IS THAT GIRL PUT A SPELL ON ME

AND A KID WITH A GUITAR FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD

IS NOW THREE CHORDS GOOD

YEAH I’M THREE CHORDS GOOD

YEAH THREE CHORDS GOOD
