the song starts with a high pitched bit from exit the vaselines , the ending track
of their album sxx with an x , followed by the actual song . enjoy!

first verse
E
smack crack , fleetwood mac ,
you’ll have a heart attack .
you’re never coming back .
G A
ruined , ruined .

E
i think you got it wrong ,
can’t write a decent song .
we’ll all just sing along .
G A
ruined , ruined .

E
in the papers every day ,
with nothing new to say .
i wish you’d go away .
G A
ruined , ruined .

E
don’t believe the hype .
i can smell the type .
pissed up every night .
G A
ruined , ruined .

chorus ( play twice )
E G A
you’ll die , we all sigh , you go sky high ,
E
through the roof .

second verse
let’s have a bit of rough .
you think you’re really tough .
but just not hard enough .
ruined , ruined .

we could get famous too .
from drink and sniffing glue .
the kids are onto you .
ruined , ruined .

a living miracle ,
too old and cynical .
play pop and popping pills .
ruined , ruined .

it’s nearly over now .
you’ll struggle on somehow ,
cash in your golden cow .
ruined , ruined .

chorus ( play twice again )
you’ll die , we all sigh , you go sky high ,
through the roof .

the song ends in E
