Lying Next To You
Lyrics
WOKE UP TODAY THE SKY WAS ALL GREY
I WAS LYING NEXT TO YOU
SO HOW COULD I MIND IF THE SUN TAKES HER TIME
WHILE I’M LYING NEXT TO YOU
THOUGHTS COME AND GO JUST TICKING OVER SLOW
WHILE I’M LYING NEXT TO YOU
WHAT WAS BEFORE DOESN’T MATTER ANYMORE
LYING NEXT TO YOU
THE DAWN CHORUS CHOIR
THE ALARM’S ABOUT TO FIRE
I’M LYING NEXT TO YOU
YOUR BREATH SOFT AND WARM IN THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM
LYING NEXT TO YOU
I’M SPENDING TODAY A MILLION MILES AWAY
FROM LYING NEXT TO YOU
BEFORE THE BLINDS ARE DRAWN
I NEED A MOMENT MORE
LYING NEXT TO YOU
AND TONIGHT WHEN I FALL AT THE END OF IT ALL
I’LL BE LYING NEXT TO YOU
YES I KNOW WHEN WE FALL AT THE END OF IT ALL I’LL BE LYING NEXT TO YOU

Stay On Track
Lyrics
I WANT A ROAD RUNNING THROUGH MY MEMORY
NEAT WHITE LINES & BIG CLEAR SIGNS
SAYS “DO NOT CROSS”, SAYS “SLOW DOWN”
I WANNA GOD WHO PAYS ATTENTION
SITS IN THE SKY & WRITES IT DOWN
SAYS “DON’T CRY NOW” SAYS “IT’S NOT TIME”
STAY ON TRACK
DON’T LOOK BACK IT’S ALL HERE
I WANT A PLACE TO FEEL PROTECTION
A PADDED ROOM TO CALL MY OWN
IT’S WARM & SOFT YOU CAN COME
I WANT TO KNOW ALL THE DIFFERENT ENDINGS
ALL THE THINGS I MIGHT BECOME
OLD & YOUNG BORN AGAIN
STAY ON TRACK
DON’T LOOK BACK IT’S ALL HERE
I WANT A LOVE THAT HOLDS TOGETHER
ALL THE FRAGMENTS OF A LIVED LIFE
STAY ON TRACK
DON’T LOOK BACK IT’S ALL HERE

Something’s Right
Lyrics
I’M ALL ALONE JUST ME AND A TELEPHONE
BUT EVEN WHEN YOU’RE GONE YOU’RE IN MY HEAD
AND WHILE YOU’RE MEETING STRANGERS
IN STORMY WEATHER THAT BENDS THE LIGHT
I KNOW SOMETHING’S RIGHT
SWEETHEART UNDONE, UNARMED AND BACK ON LINE EVERYTHING BUT FLESH GETS CLOSE TO ME
THESE DAYS AND NIGHTS WITHOUT YOU
ROLL AWAY LIKE A MARBLE GAME
‘COS I KNOW SOMETHING’S RIGHT
OUR VOICES DRIFTING IN THE AIR TONIGHT
MEETING BY SATTELITE
DODODODODODODO
NOW ALL THE TREES ARE TURNING GREEN TO GOLD
I KNOW YOU’VE BEEN AWAY FROM ME TOO LONG
MORE POSTCARDS CAME FROM PLACES
YOU LEFT WEEKS BEFORE TONIGHT
BUT I KNOW SOMETHING’S RIGHT

Accidents Happen In The Home
Lyrics
LOST MY BALANCE, SHIFTED FEET
DID A 2 STEP ON A STAIR CASE
ENDED IN A HEAP
BLOOD ON THE FLOOR
TWINKLE TOES
NO GUILTY PARTY
ACCIDENTS HAPPEN IN THE HOME
SHE KNOWS NOTHING BUT A COLD HEART
A WOMEN FELL, IT WAS ON THE NEWS
INTO HER DISHES
SLIPPED ON GREASE IN HIGH HEELED SHOES
HER KNIVES WERE STACKED
BLADES ON SHOW
A FATAL STABBING
ACCIDENTS HAPPEN IN THE HOME
TAKE CARE
IT’S STRANGE WHAT FRIENDS COMFORT AND DESPAIR
AND GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS IN THE HOME
LAST NIGHT AGAIN
I HAD THE DREAM
I SEE YOU FALLING FROM THE FOURTH FLOOR
PERFECTLY SERENE
YOU WAVE GOODBYE BEFORE I CLOSE
THE OPEN WINDOW
ACCIDENTS HAPPEN IN THE HOME

Novocaine
Lyrics
I swell into a ball
I thought of it all exploding
no pain, comfortably numb
comfortably blown away
everything is over
nothing is the same
happy to surrender
to a world full of novocaine
no-one gives nothing away
I want to be saved, save me
frozen, kept under glass
wake me when enough time’s past
everything is over
nothing is the same
happy to surrender
to a world full of novocaine
and I wonder what’s on the other side
I swell into a ball
I thought of it all exploding
like some dumb animal
dumbly lumbering
everything is over
nothing is the same
happy to surrender
to a world full of novocaine

radio, oh
radio loves this
radio
I cry myself to sleep
listening to you
you tell me what to dream
and I keep tuned
radio likes this
radio, oh
radio loves this
radio
it’s nothing I could see
reaching for my soul
a universe of sound
ten billion stereos
radio likes this
radio, oh

radio
a quiet little life
babbling, sighing
static like a knife
but nothing’s as loud as your crying
radio likes this

Interzone
Lyrics
interzone
on my own
see the phonies
competing
completely, they don’t know
what I know
the last train home’s
just gone
interzone
all alone
and the droning I’m hearing
is the ceiling caving in
still we cling to this skin
that’s gone
everyone’s a star
we belong there
drive me in your car
to interzone
it’s pounding through silence
it frightens animals
but all the fools
all the fools
rush in
I don’t scream anymore
what for, they’re so sure
interzone
interzone
I am yours

Here In My Arms
Lyrics
I don’t want much from you, I’ve learnt that
You don’t want too much from me
We both can see the beauty of the stars clearly
Here in my arms
Here in my arms again
There is no talk about important things
It’s late enough to be in bed
All unanswered questions you can now forget
Here in my arms
Here in my arms again
Here in my arms
Keeping me warm again
Don’t lie and tell me that it’s love you feel
Pressed inside against my heart
You’ll make me and the angel of lost causes laugh
Here in my arms
Here in my arms again
Here in my arms
You make me calm again
And close behind me
There’s someone falling
I don’t need details
Just how you came to be in my arms, again
And through the night we turn around the moon
The heat from blood and breath subsides
While all the expectations of our dreams collide
Here in my arms
Here in my arms again
Here in my arms
Eye of the storm again
Sheet Music
These chords provided by Tim Hackett who said
“Here in My Arms” is definitely another of my favourites off “My
Third Husband” – definitely a song to alter your state of
consciousness. I had to apply some DIY musical theory to name
some of these chords so they may be theoretically wrong. I don’t have
a clue of the names of the first six chords in the intro, so I put
them into the chord chart as is. The very nice thing about this song
is that you can play the chords with your fingers in a rather loosely
timed manner – very good for those of us who are chronologically
challenged (i.e. have lousy timing). Enjoy …

Only The Bones (Will Show)
Lyrics
Farewell this heart’s in a muddle
The air’s too thick
My bones give me trouble
It’s too hot, too hot to breathe
Perfect night to take my leave
These bones will be all that’s left to show
Ghastly crooked teeth sticking out of the earth
In a hideous row
Only the bones will show
No-one will ever know
Only the bones will show
You might think me moribund
A trifle unhealthy
But why should I hang around feeling melancholy
Nothing you say that I could not handle
A drink or two you think would smooth out this mental tangle
Contrary to good opinion
These thoughts of doing myself in could only serve to make this a better place
So put on a happy face
Only the bones will show
No-one will ever know
Only the bones will show
Will you arrange my bones on the mantelpiece
Use their long hard surface to cool down your heat
Like a xylophone
My bleached whites will play along with your songs all night
Only the bones will show
No-one will ever know
Only the bones will show
Sheet Music
These chords provided by Tim Hackett who says
“Only the Bones” is one of my favourite songs off “My Third
Husband”. Ignoring guitar solos, there appear to be two distinct
guitar parts to this song. The first set of chords are the basic ones
underlying the whole song. I don’t thinks these are exactly the
originals as used by Willy Zygier, but leaving them all down the
bottom of the fretboard makes them a bit easier to play. They’re kind
of subdued and muffled chords, so if you don’t like the ones I’ve
suggested, just use your favourite chord formations instead.

This second set of chords are a kind of melody/harmony line you can
play along with the chorus. When you’re listening to the song,
these jump out at you at the beginning of each chorus. The
lyrics are at the top of each row of chords so you know where abouts
you are in the song.

These fret diagrams represent the distorted arpeggio chords Willy
Zygier plays at the tail end of the song. The numbers at the bottom
of each diagram is to let you know in which order to play each note.

All Of The Above
Lyrics
When you get down as far as this
It’s not as simple as a kiss to make the pain stop
Door stop in my slamming way
And now behind it locked but words get in and ring you like a wagon train
All of the above is not enough, is not enough
The moon’s a switchblade on my head
It shines and points the way to bed but not to sleep
The sheep that I am counting turn and I need help
But I am on my own with no-one to defend me from myself
All of the above is not enough, is not enough
I took a multiple choice test
(a) outbreak caused by nervousness
(b) under siege
(c) means that justify their ends but at what cost
(d) disappointment from all the friends I’ve lost
– but (e)’s the best
All of the above is not enough, is not enough
I will not make sense

These chords provided by Tim Hackett who said
“All of the Above” is a magic song full of all sorts of little timing
labyrinths. Willy Zygier very kindly pointed out a couple of errors I
made, so this is the revised version. I’ve used some 3 note chords
for the verses, but garden variety A, F, C & G chords work just as
well. If you feel a bit adventurous, you can always have a go at the
guitar fills and solos which I’ve represented schematically (my
knowledge of music theory is somewhat below par). Probably the best
way to use these chords and fills is to listen closely to the
recording and play along. If you don’t have a copy of “My Third
Husband” …(a) go out and buy it
(b) put it on your birthday & Christmas list
(c) go to Gaslight Records’ nude day and get it free
(d) hassle your favourite radio station to play it
(e) all of the above
By Then Dead
Sheet Music

These chords provided by Tim Hackett who said
If you ignore the diverse array of time signatures, “By Then
Dead” seems to be a kind of blues-meets-grunge affair – but then,
who cares what kind of a song I think it is. Rather than
drive myself crazy writing the whole thing out, I’ve just put in the
main parts of the song in order of appearance (naturally you’ll have
to go back between the verses & choruses). It’s probably safest if
you perform “By Then Dead” in your lounge room along with the
recording, as it doesn’t really lend itself to that cozy little
singalong around the campfire – then again…
Evil Homer
Sheet Music
This is deadly simple treat for guitar strugglers such as myself. It is in 4/4 (two beats to each line of lyrics), capo on the 8th fret, D and A formations (what you are really playing is Bb to F)
The break (after every second verse) has a keyboard sequence through it that I am told is pretty straight forward but beyond my meagre wit.
Thanks to Willy Zygier for explaining these chords to me.
Ross was always on blinder
David’s mostly running late
Shane prefers it gentler kinder
Alan likes to eat his cake
John’s beloved by all who meet him
Andrew makes a lot of dough
Roman’s trying vegetarian
Ralph wants everyone to know
James can understand both parties
Grant’s a fundamentalist
Gary’s fights get very narky
Gerry’s a ventriliquist
Tom likes wearing short pyjamas
Dick has joined his local team
Harry’s into green bananas
served with passionfruit and cream
Larry thinks he’ll join the navy
Joe is lively talks non stop
Matthew says he loves me truly
Herman’s into heavy rock
Winston loves to wear mascara
Truman’s moved to Ivanhoe
Pablo’s trying to reach Nirvana
he must be the last to know
Bob defies all defintion
Darwin makes it obvious
Ted is one big indecision
Scott is so industrious
Roger has the best intestines
Gough makes everybody laugh
Keith is fragile likes prescriptions
Toby thinks he’s really tough
Dan is daring not to gamble
Nevin never ever would
Geoff reads any tabloid scandal
Ben picks pockets and he’s good
Jordan never learned to tango
Noel is always practicing
Simon says he knows the lingo
but no-one really believes him
Bertoldt can’t stop muscle building
Humboldt’s table manner suck
Hercules is undernourished
Evil Homer lives to fuck
3 Love
Sheet Music

These chords provided by Tim Hackett who said
In my opinion “3 Love” combines the writing and playing skills of
seasoned musicians with the drive and freshness of a high school
band. The parts I especially like are Willy Zygier’s
McLaughlinesque* arpeggio guitar breaks in the final
stages of the song.
“3 Love” is basically in 5/4 timing with a 3 and 2 feel, but watch
out for the occasional switch to 7/4 and 3/4. A fun song to
play along with.
*John McLaughlin, best known to
jazz-fusion buffs, is an exceptionally talented guitar player who’s
been recording music for at least three decades. Many his songs
feature formidable time signatures over which he
plays cross-timing arpeggios and blistering solos. As to this
self-indulgent piece of esoteric music trivia, I’m sure to regret it
in the morning.
DCN #348
Sheet Music
These chords provided by Tim Hackett who said
Musically speaking, DCN#348 is the epitome of simplicity and honesty;
an unexpected and insightful ending to “Bitch Epic” (which you’re
likely to miss if you press the “stop” button too quickly). The
“vocals and guitar to one microphone” makes for a lovely organic
guitar sound and intimate vocals. It sounds like a very personal song
so I hope Deborah doesn’t mind me putting it up here.
Although it’s actually in “the people’s key” (E), Deborah plays it
with a capo on the 4th fret using a C formation. I don’t know if the
way I’ve written it down is strictly correct but, for simplicity’s
sake, I’ve used the names of the chord formations rather than the
actual chords. I haven’t included the hammered on notes that Deborah
plays in the C chord, but these aren’t too hard to work out if you
listen carefully. Hope you enjoy playing it.

Hello you it’s ten to one in the morning
I don’t know what time that makes it over there
I haven’t figured it out yet Cos we just turned the clocks back

Looking at churches again
I guess you probably seen ’em all by now
I was feeling the need for Something a little bit more
In your line of bad jokes and sweet talk
Chorus:
And I miss you
And i’m thinking of you
And I know I’ve tried before
But you didn’t return my phone calls

I been out on the town
And yes i’ve been drinking again
Yes we both know it makes me emotional
But did you get the letter i sent are you keeping up with your rent
So many stupid questions running round my head

And I miss you
And i’m thinking of you
And I know I’ve tried before
But you didn’t return my phone calls

Why don’t you pick up the phone Quit pretending that you’re not home
Oooh baby I just can’t let you alone
Chorus:
And I miss you
And i’m thinking of you
And I know I’ve tried before
But you didn’t return my phone calls
I know it’s over now
I know ‘coz i talked to your friends
But there’s just one thing
Why don’t you return my phone calls

These chords were worked out by Tim Hackett who said :
Glory Ordinary Day is in 4 time and I’ve put in some chords for first
part of the verse that sort of fit in with what the bass does. Otherwise
you could do it as per the recording by picking out the melody on the G
string and using the D string as a drone.
