Architecture And Morality Ted And Alice

Bb
The wonderful dexterity of Hannu Mikkula
Bb
Makes me want to shake hands with the whole of Finland
Bb
But the horrible sincerity of Miriam Stoppard
Bb
Makes me want to go out and commit mass murder.


[Chorus]

  Am                    Em      Am
I rang Jane Scott for a genuine friend,
                               Em               Am              
She was otherwise engaged so I looked round the bend
                             Em         Am
I saw the wheels of nihilism rolling my way
                                     Em Am
And now I live life in the bus lane  
                                  Em Am                    
Yeah, I live life in the bus lane.


[Verse 2]

Bb
The halcyonic dynamo that lit up my childhood
Bb
Made me feel secure on the roads in winter
Bb
But the nauseating bashfulness of early Diana
Bb
Made me want to set fire to commemorative tea towels.


[Chorus 2]

  Am                            Em          Am
I walked across the road with a peach in my hand
                           Em            Am
A hammer hit my head and I couldn't understand
                         Em          Am
Behind me stood a maniac laughing at me saying
                            Em Am
“I like to watch the adverts
                              Em Am                      
Yeah, I saw it in the adverts.


[Interlude]

              C         F        G              Dm
You fold your grandma’s neck and smother her in custard
     C            F       C
As a contribution to your folio

                  F           G             Dm
And the very next morning you take her into college
        C              F             C
And the tutor with the beard and the polio
                         F                G               Dm
Says “Well yeah it’s got potential and it could well be essential
       C                 F            C                  Bb
But it should be more dramatic if you know what I mean”.


[Coda]

         Fm          Am                                  D
Have you tuned in to Radio Dada, every Friday evening at six in the morning?
Bb       Fm           Am                                  D        Bb
Scan the airwaves for Radio Dada – it goes something like this…..
