 #Intro:
 #
 
 Verse 1:
 
 F                 G7/F            
 Your multilingual  business friend
 Bb/F                     F  
 Has packed her bags and fled
 F                       G7/F    
 Leaving only ash-filled ashtrays
         Bb/F               F 
 And the lipsticked unmade bed
      Dm          Gm     
 The mirror, a reflection
      F/C                   C  
 Has climbed back upon the wall
 F                          G7/F  
 For the floor she found descended
 Bb/F                     F  
 And the ceiling was too tall
 
 Chorus:
 
        F                Bb  
 Your trouser cuffs are dirty
            G                  C  
 And your shoes are laced up wrong
        A7                   Dm     F/C 
 You'd better take off your homburg 
              Bb              F  
 'Cause your overcoat is too long

 Verse 2:
 
 The town clock in the market square
 Stands waiting for the hour
 When its hands they won't turn backwards
 And on meeting will devour
 Both themselves and also any fool
 Who dares to tell the time
 And the sun and moon will shatter
 And the signposts cease to sign
