Blur - The Puritan

intro : G D x2

G
are we institutionalised
D
by the demands of today?
G
in our regalia
D
are we ok?
Bm
because the flash , of a blade

is one less getting paid
D
there in the line
Bm
and the ice , and gold

is just a double code . . .
D
it’s a paradigm

for every little thing
G ( distorsion guitar here )
that fashion gives you
D
yeah

G D

G
so the puritan on a morning
D
said happy sad melody
G
i’m waltzing on an amazing pulse
D
in a pornographic sea
Bm
where the absent blade

is one less in parade
D
to throw overboard
Bm
and the ice , and gold

it’s just a double code
D
it’s a metaphor

for every little thing
G ( distorsion guitar again ) D
that fashion gives you yeah

Em D

G
i’m falling into something
D
that plays upon the metronome , in your heart
G
it’s smoke and it’s mirrors
D
until the auto cue starts
Bm
then the dry ice comes

and we start sucking our
D
thumbs on the tv
Bm
and the joy of people
D
spirited away so merrily

is part of every little thing
G ( dist . guitar ) D
that fashion gives you yeah
