alternate lyrics:
When playing this live Billy changes often changes the words, here's some
of the alternate lyrics he was doing 1993-6
verse one
Fidel Castro's Brother spies / Lee-Harvey Oswald's brother spies
so he walks over and he's trying/so he calls her on his carphone
that the 3rd world is just around the corner/3rd world war has already
started in Europe
verse 2
A scientist is blinded/ an economist is blinded
by the resumption of nuclear testing/ by the lure of the free market
system
Doctor Robert Oppenheimer's optimism fell/ Dr. Oppenheimer nearly
invented the atom bomb
at the first hurdle/ but isn't captalism interesting when you've only got
roubles to spend
verse 3
stacking chairs/stacking cheese
15 fame filled minutes of the fanzine writer/15 fame filled minutes of
the stage diver
verse4
embarrasment and my usual excuses/ my acupuncturist and some fruit juices
where the van is waiting/where my limo is waiting
great leap forwards/new world order
verse5
pamplets have been posted/all my friends were sacked
even after closing time there's still parties to be hosted/ even after
all this time you can still send me a fax
sleep in with the sleepers/ sleep in with the media
outro
blacklist, I'd like to be on it/ hitlist, I'd like to be on it/ mat down
there I'd like to be on it
start your own revolution and cut out the middleman/I think that
ramraiding has a special place in social change
/well I really always wanted to be quite famous, but I don't want to be
on your security cameras
the revolution is just a T-shirt away/ the revolution is just a Pele
T-shirt away
Plus these from Ron McBay's BB homepage:
verse 1
But he thinks that he should warn her That her husband Jim'll probably
have to do all 45 years of his sentence.
outro
You can be active with the activists or sleep in with Rob Lowe
Well it's all very good to say that you're sorry, but I really don't
believe you, Ollie
Salmon Rushdie proves that you have to be careful, for those who burn
books will later burn people
If you've got a blacklist I wanna be on it, it's better than a Grammy
with my name on it
Does anybody know any more ?
d is a downstroke
u is an upstroke (kind of a lazy, incidental one)
h is a hammer on
* at the end of the last line of [verse part 1], the walk up from the G
to the C *might* be replaced by a walk up from a C to an F, so it'd be
the same fingering as the other lines of the verse, but move the end bit
all up one string
