F G
Koreema know just what it is she does
A# F REPEAT
It cant be hard for her to get a buzz
Down in the street below
You can hear the drunken prophet sing
"I know whats on your mind my boy
I can see oh everything
Lead pipes are fortune made well
Take a tip from me
D# D#M
Climb up to her window ledge or you'll forever be
A#
Just walking under ladders as the people round you hear you crying please"
D# A# A, G#, G
as the people round you hear you crying please"
Who really knows just what it is she does
It cant be hard for her
To get a buzz
The rapture of vertigo
And letting go
Me myself i was never sure
Was it the liquor
Or was it my soul?

| It does sound like it says "Archangel" but the back-up vocals sound like they're saying "prophet". | |

| The line 'Take a tip from me, climb up to her window ledge' to me means building the courage to make a move for a girl you like. It reminds me of Romeo climbing up to Juliet's window ledge. Then the next line saying 'or you'll forever be; walking under ladders as the people around you hear u crying please' meaning if you don't, you will be left alone as everyone else has made the ladder climb up to their Juliet's window ledge. Awesome song. | |

| to answer your question, thewisehermit; the 'lead pipes' line is from a tony hancock episode, the poetry society. i agree with everyone: this song is brilliant. such energy, etc. wish pete hadn't gone round the bend... | |
