i could be tugging on the beard of science like a cheeky schoolboy
B E B E
but i couldn’t be bothered , thats why i’m still in the box room
B E B E
face down in the last ditch , my natural home

oh , i used to cajole gordon giltrap
C#m A
i used to think that it mattered

but the low drone of the treadmill
C#m A B E B E ( x2 )
is the sound of my hopes being shattered .
B E B E
i should be standing in a chaos of sunflowers , with a girl from machynlleth

increasing doubt , decreasing hope

oh , i used to cajole gordon giltrap
C#m A
i used to think that it mattered

but the low drone of the treadmill
C#m A
is the sound of my hopes being shattered .

is the sound of my hopes being shattered .
