Three Chords Good Songtext

von Graham Parker & The Rumour

I TOOK ONE STEP INTO THE ABYSS
ONE STEP INTO THE VOID
ONE STEP FURTHER THAN IVE 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 ITS 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 IM THREE CHORDS GOOD
YEAH IM THREE CHORDS GOOD

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 DONT 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 IM STANDING, STANDING ON
THE CORNER OF NOWHERE
MY HANDS OUT FLAPPING LIKE BIRDS
IM PULLING STUFF OUTA MY HEAD LIKE CHERRIES
AND THE TREES STARTED SINGING THE WORDS
YEAH THE TREES STARTED SINGING THE WORDS
LETS 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 IM THREE CHORDS GOOD
YEAH THREE CHORDS GOOD
