Awkward Sean Cifras

[Verse 1]
E
Keith Muldoon said he was dead, murdered by a giraffe
 
Christine Payne said No, he’s alive – he lives in Haverfordwest”
 
Chemtrail Brian has him in York getting dragged out of the Ouse
 
AirWair boots, surgical gown, counter-majority views.

[Verse 2]
E
We had Slade, we had the Sweet, Sean had Chicory Tip
 
We thought Cruyff, Pele or Best, Sean thought Muller or Maier
 
We played pool; he would arrange beer mats into a tower
 
That’s him there stood at the back, next to Anthony Power.

Awkward Sean, awkward Sean,

 You’d call round but never go in; he’d always keep you for ages on the step
           G             C                 D
As old Joe over the road pointed up at the roof
             G               C                                      D
I once heard Jennifer Hughes claim she’d been in the hallway and it stank
                G             C                  D
And old Joe was over the road pointing up at the roof.

Awkward Sean, are you alive? Are you still of a mind?
 
Javelin, discus, hammer and shot, twenty kilometre walk
 
Pop-Tart Mark, King of the Arch swears down you were the best
 
And Christine Paine is probably wrong: I bet you live in Haverfordeast!
