   D    A    D           A     G                 A            D     A 
My life   is comfortable   but I don't want that image for my band. 
  D     A     D          A     G                  A               D     A 
Inside,   I'm reasonable   but I'll make out they just don't understand. 
Em                 A         Em           A 
When we don't feel well let's put on some Velvets 
Em           G                   A 
Leave our guitars up against the amp. 
        D        A                  D 
And get feedback when I feel that I need that 
A                       G            A                      D    (A  (D A) 
Air of "look, aren't we dangerous" - that's the time to feedback. 
   D    A     D          A  G          A              D     A 
Intense,   no compromise,   nasty evil cranking up my brain. 
D     A  D     A        G                    A                  D     A 
Pain,    Howl,    she's gone to Spain with a load of mates from work. 
      Em              A         Em            A 
And I feel cursed and sore, like I'm Thurston Moore like 
Em           G                    A 
The darkness in my eyes won't go away. 
      D        A                D 
I get feedback in my bedroom in Nantwich 
A                         G              A                      D     A 
Stamp my foot down on the angst-switch: that's the time to feedback.

B                         Em             A                 D 
Somebody's knocking on my door; it's the boy from over the road 
       B                    Em               A                      D 
And he says he shares our obsession and he'd like to join in on the session 
        B                          Em        A 
And the others aren't arsed either way, so I say: 
             D                  A               D              A 
I think we'd better let him in,    I heard he's got a Theremin 
             D                  A                  D             A 
I think we'd better let him in,    I've heard he's got a Theremin 
         Em                        A 
And I've seen him walk through the park a lot 
      Em                A 
And I bet he listens to Arc a lot 
             D                       A 
I think we'd better let him in, he's got a Theremin 
     D                       A 
We'd better let him in, he's got a Theremin.
