LYRICS
Alice, what's the matter, Alice, what's the matter
Something about you really puts me down,
You're the life of the party, you're the toast of the town.
Something about you really picks me up,
Like a hot cup of coffee in a hot coffee cup.
Feels like a Saturday, free and easy-going }
Reminded it's a Sunday, stops the flow from flowing } pre
You can see clearly now the rain has gone, } chorus
But it looks like someones gone and dropped the bomb. }
Alice, what's the matter, Alice, what's the matter x2 } chorus
Something about her, she reminds me of you,
Something about him, he could be me too,
Something about them, something about the other,
Something I got to tell you about my dad and you're mother
(pre-chorus and chorus)
(solo)
Alice, what's the matter, Alice, what's the matter x2
Something about black, something about white,
Something about wrong, something about right,
Something about us, something about them,
Something about Bill, definitely something about Ben
Something about you, something about me,
Something about a, b, c, d and e
Something about hell, something about heaven,
Something about 4, 5, 6 and 7
Alice, what's the matter, Alice, what's the matter x2

LYRICS:
VERSE: You know I cpuldn't be me, if it wasn't for you
I feel like shit and look like plastic, but I'll get through.
You know it's plain to see what's going to do
As long as it don't get too drastic, then we can't lose
CHORUS: Don't blame the middleman, come to me
I'll tell you what I can, all you need
Cut out the middleman, wait and see yeah
VERSE: It was you that told me, the aliens had landed
And it was you that told me, the end had just begun
(CHORUS)
'NEXT BIT': But now we're in this thing together
You can't escape I've got you trapped deep inside
You said you'd stay with me forever
Where are you now when I need you as my alibi?
You left me all alone, in my hour of need
I've tried to explain the situation, but they don't believe me.
(CHORUS)
Come to me...all you need...wait and see yeah
(CHORUS)
This tab is for private use only. etc. And all that.

LYRICS
I've sold the bus, man, cause I've found myself a train,
In a village that was, man, but it's now a motorway,
The house has gone, man, cause I couldn't afford the rates,
Only a few left now, where the new age stayers stay.
I've got no job, man, cause I couldn't afford the taxes,
And I can't walk away cause the world's being run by nazis
They say, stay put cause there's no room at the inn,
Don't try the if, but, don't ring us no don't ring.
CHORUS:
Stop right here, cause I know where I'm going to, }
Stop right there, you don't know where I've been, } x2
I feel sad, man cause we're victims of the victims
Who don't give a damn, just say they're victims of the system,
They say, what's the point, when the future's a thing of the past,
You might as well give in, they don't build history to last.
(CHORUS)
(CHORUS)
Stop the bus.
See ya.
