A Sheltered Life Cifras

A Sheltered Life by Carter USM
 
[Intro] - Spoken
 
(What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?)
 
[Verse 1]
E
(Too much sex and violence Too shocking even for channel 4)
 
E
I've never been insane, put my baby on a plane
E                                  A
With a suitcase that's alive and kicking
E
And your honour i confess that I've never tasted meths
E                               A
Or hid a gun in a box of fried chicken
E
I've never been to Amsterdam, left my heart in Vietnam
E                             A
Or sold gum on the streets of Mexico
E
Never smuggled pot or been murdered in my squat
E                                 A
Two stories from the top of a no go
 
E  A
 
 
[Verse 2]
E
I've never had to stael or sell my body for a meal
E                       A
Cigarettes, alcohol or drugs
      E
I've never had a tattoo or scar that wouldn't heal
                 A                        E
Pump it up Jack, pump it up Jack, pump it up!
 
A  E  A
 
 
[Verse 3]
      E
I've never been on strike, or a speeding motorbike
                                A
Been propositioned beten up or mugged
           E
I've got 20/20 vision but I've never seen the light
                                          A
Pump it up Jack, pump it up Jack, pump it up!
                          C
And if you're looking for trouble
                 D
You came to the wrong place
      E
I've never gone cold turkey in a shed in Albuquerke
                                A
Or played chicken on a railway line
     E
I've never been a litter bug, given head or taken drugs
                 A                        E
Pump it up Jack, pump it up Jack, pump it up!
 
A  E
 
 
[Chorus]
A
Crack that whip across my thigh
C
Stick a needle in my eye
D
Cross my heart and hope to die
                          E
I have lived a sheltered life
 
A  E  A  G  E  G  E  G
 
 
[Verse 4]
E
I've never been to Amsterdam, left my heart in Vietnam
E                              A
Or sold gum on the streets of Mexico
E
Never smuggled pot or been murdered in my squat
E
Two stories from the top of a no go
 
A  E  A
 
E
Pump it up Jack, pump it up Jack, pump it up!
 
E
I've never gone cold turkey in a shed in Albuquerke
                                A
Or played chicken on a railway line
     E
I've never been a litter bug, given head or taken drugs
                 A                        E
Pump it up Jack, pump it up Jack, pump it up!

[Chorus]
A
Crack that whip across my thigh

Stick a needle in my eye

Cross my heart and hope to die
