 Verse 1:<br/>
 <br/>
 F                 G7/F<br/>
 Your multilingual     business friend<br/>
 Bb/F                     F<br/>
 Has packed her bags and fled<br/>
 F                       G7/F<br/>
 Leaving only ash-filled ashtrays<br/>
         Bb/F               F<br/>
 And the lipsticked unmade bed<br/>
      Dm          Gm<br/>
 The mirror, a reflection<br/>
      F/C                   C<br/>
 Has climbed back upon the wall<br/>
 F                          G7/F<br/>
 For the floor she found descended<br/>
 Bb/F                     F<br/>
 And the ceiling was too tall<br/>
 <br/>
 Chorus:<br/>
 <br/>
        F                Bb<br/>
 Your trouser cuffs are dirty<br/>
            G                  C<br/>
 And your shoes are laced up wrong<br/>
        A7                   Dm      F/C<br/>
 You'd better take off your homburg<br/>
              Bb              F<br/>
 'Cause your overcoat is too long<br/>
 <br/>
 [repeat intro]<br/>
 <br/>
 Verse 2:<br/>
 <br/>
 The town clock in the market square<br/>
 Stands waiting for the hour<br/>
 When its hands they won't turn backwards<br/>
 And on meeting will devour<br/>
 Both themselves and also any fool<br/>
 Who dares to tell the time<br/>
 And the sun and moon will shatter<br/>
 And the signposts cease to sign<br/>
 <br/>
 [repeat chorus]<br/>
