Magazine- A Song From Under the Floorboards- 1980
[Verse 1]
D C Bb F D
I am angry, I am ill and ugly as sin
C Bb F D
My irritability keeps me alive and kicking
C Bb F D
I know the meaning of life, it doesn't help me a bit
C Bb F
I know beauty and I know a good thing when I see it
[Chorus 1]
F Bb F
This is a song from under the floorboards
Bb F
This is a song where the wall is cracked
Bb F
My force of habit, I am an insect
Bb F D
I have to confess I'm proud as hell of that fact
[Verse 2]
D C Bb F D
I know the highest and the best
C Bb F D
I accord them all due respect
C Bb F D
But the brightest jewel inside of me
C Bb F
Glows with pleasure at my own stupidity
[Chorus 2]
F Bb F
This is a song from under the floorboards
Bb F
This is a song where the wall is cracked
Bb F
My force of habit, I am an insect
Bb F D
I have to confess I'm proud as hell of that fact
[Verse 3]
D C Bb F D
Used to make phantoms I could later chase
C Bb F D
Images of all that could be desired
C Bb F D
Then I got tired of counting all of these blessings
C Bb F
Then I just got tired
[Chorus 3]
F Bb F
This is a song from under the floorboards
Bb F
This is a song where the wall is cracked
Bb F
My force of habit, I am an insect
Bb F D
I have to confess I'm proud as hell of that fact
[Chorus 4]
F Bb F
This is a song from under the floorboards
Bb F
This is a song where the wall is cracked
Bb F
My force of habit, I am an insect
Bb F D
I have to confess I'm proud as hell of that fact
