If you hate me why don't you go ?
But if you love me why don't you let me know ?
But you just won't give me an inch, so
you just sulk
D G
Why do I wanna hide whenever you show up ?
You know your moods they make we wanna throw up
Why don't you just bloody well grow up ?
You just sulk
[Chorus]:
B#m F#m G(III) A
All of the time why don't you pick me up and show me a sign?
All over the place why don't you tell me what you think, c'mon tell..
..me to my face
D G
If you love me why don't you show it ?
If you hate me why don't you let me know it ?
Why don't you just pick up something an' throw it ?
You just sulk
[Piano over D G D G ]
D G
Well if you want to bend my arm
you could do it with a little more charm
But you just couldn't bear to do me any harm
so you just sulk
D G
And you tell me that you want to quit
and then you treat me like a piece of shit
and when I ask you 'what's that got to do with it?'
You just sulk
B#m F#m G(III) A
All of the time why don't you pick me up and show me a sign?
All over the place why don't you tell me what you think, c'mon tell..
..me to my face
D G
If you love me why don't you show it ?
If you hate me why don't you let me know it ?
Why don't you just pick up something an' throw it ?
You just sulk
???!!??you what??!!?????
D G
Sulk, hang around the town, we'll have an' heave another barbie *
Sulk, come down the road, we'll get a key, Bob, alrightie **
Sulk, ad lib and fade is what Wiggy says ***
oooh oooh ...

h is a hammer on
p is a pull off
+ I'm pretty sure that you can only get this CD by mail order or
front-of-house at Billy's gigs. In the UK, send a Cheque/Intl. Money Order
(payable to "Billy Bragg live bootleg") for pounds5.99 (No liability accepted,
etc.!) to Billy's fan club: The Bragg Office P.O. Box 5107, London W4 5WB,
different arrangements for USA- see the Billy Bragg information World Wide Web
Home Page (at http://noel.pd.org/~usul/billy-bragg) for US address. Thanks to
Ron McBay for giving me an inch, so.
What are those ad lib lyrics at the end?? Translation of my version, for our
international viewers: * why don't you stay in the urban centre and we'll eat
and subsequently vomit some barbecued food, like we have done before. ** there
is no sensible intepretation of this - at least if it had been a 'kebab,
alrightie' that would have been in keeping with the eat/vomit theme! *** Wiggy
is BB's friend and guitarist, presumably this is his advice on how to end the
song! Any suggestions for these 3 lines are welcome...
