[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E
There's indifference on the wind, but a faint gust of hope
E
At a club nobody goes to, with a musty velvet rope
A
Guys in Motörhead jackets who knew him way back when
E
Haven't raised a drink in years but now meet up again
D A
To remember how it was when they all thought they'd move away
E A
And ride in Lotus 7s through the London streets one day
[Chorus 1]
B E A
Nobody ever gets away
B A B C
Even the best of us come back some day
D E A
To the unmarked rooms, where the dry dust breeds
E A B E
Andrew Eldritch is moving back to Leeds
[Verse 2]
E
There's a rusted fog machine in a concrete storage space
E
Letter-number combinations with no meaning on its face
A
They won't make these anymore, it's a wooden coach-n-four
E
No-one will even steal it if you leave it by the door
D A
No sign to mark it's going, no tombstone for its grave
E A
There will be goodbyes by dozens, so practice being brave
[Chorus 2]
B E A
No-one anticipates the rush
B A B C
The breezy feeling of the faceless crush
D E A
At the end of things, where the salvage bleeds
E A B Eaug
Andrew Eldritch is moving back to Leeds
[Bridge]
E B G#m C#m
They don't throw him a parade, he just comes in on a train
Am6 E
One suitcase in his hand and an old army backpack
A
From the Second World War
B
From a Leipzig secondhand store
E Eaug E
[Verse 3]
E
Pick the keys up from the agent, everything's been taken care of
E
No big changes in the roadways since you've left that I'm aware of
A
A few old buildings gone to dust and some new ones in the way
E
They'll look just like the old ones when the winds have had their say
D A
See the children bound for London; you'll all be back too
E A
Everybody tests the membrane but no-one pushes through
[Chorus 3]
B E A
Come on boys that'll be enough
B A B C
You'd think your old friends wouldn't play so tough
D E A
Like a basket by the Nile, hiding down among the reeds
E A B
Andrew Eldritch is moving back to Leeds
[Outro]
E Eaug E
