And the women tug their hair
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Like they’re trying to prove it won’t fall out
C6 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7

Dipped long in Irish stout

The whole place is pickled

And no-one knows if they’ve done more here

Intro * 2
And everyone is blond
And everyone is beautiful
And when blond and beautiful are multiple
They become so dull and dutiful
And when faced with dull and dutiful
They fire red warning flares
Battle-khaki personality
With red underwear
This could be Rotterdam or anywhere, Liverpool or Rome,
‘Cause Rotterdam is anywhere, anywhere alone,
Anywhere alone
Intro * 4
The whole place is pickled
The people are pickles for sure
And no-one knows if they’ve done more here
Than they ever would do in a jar
This could be Rotterdam or anywhere, Liverpool or Rome,
‘Cause Rotterdam is anywhere, anywhere alone,
This could be Rotterdam or anywhere, Liverpool or Rome,
‘Cause Rotterdam is anywhere, anywhere alone,
Anywhere alone
