Goth On Our Side
By Half Man Half Biscuit
(Chorded by Lady_Radiohead)
Well my name it is Dai Young
Iâm the King of Welsh Goth
The village I come from
Is near Aber-soch
I was brought up on Bauhaus
And black bedroom walls
And I had my first Snakebite
When I was in halls
Now the graveyard is call-ing
The skyâs getting greyer
Iâll drink the warm blood of
The Borough Surveyor
And Iâll murder the verger
Iâve seen how he gawps
And Iâll write on his headstone:
âHere lies Jones the Corpseâ
Now my overweight girlfriend
She sits and she crimps
Her motherâs convinced sheâs
Communing with imps
Her brotherâs alright though
Heâs a good lad is Wilf
âCos heâs into Plac-ebo
And Cradle Of Filth
( , , , , , , )
At my gig up in Butlins
The Redcoats complained
They tried to remove me
The bottles they rained
But for the first time in history
I didnât run and hide
And the scousers in shellsuits
Had goths on their side
( , , , , , , )
Now this Land Of My Fathers
It donât suit my needs
Iâd rather be some place
Like Bradford or Leeds
Where the Gipton teenagers
Could meet in my shed
For advice on mascara
And all things undead
( , , , , , , )
Now my left index finger
Is nine inches long
Itâs hovering over
A world thatâs gone wrong
Ask me to Prestatyn
And thatâs what Iâll do
And weâll all die together
And Dylan can sue
