Dm A/C# C G Bb F Em A
…………………
[Verse 1]
Dm A/C#
Fire and famine
C G
Pestilence and sin
Bb F
But there’s no surviving
Em A
A hike in the rent
Dm A/C#
Bottles on my vertebrae
C G
Vases are my mainstay
Bb F
For I Am the glassblower
Em A
Shards the heart of the pain
[Chorus]
D A
Fashions they come and go
C G
Well fashionable crowds they know
Bb F
They know who is the glassblower
Em A
And wherein is his lair
[Verse 2]
Dm A/C#
Wine like a siren threads
C G
Between the life I’ve led
Bb F#
Wind swims in my naked head
Em A
With my legs in the air
Dm A/C#
My veil is two centuries long
C G
I sing forgotten songs
Bb F#
Amongst the saree’s and sarongs
Em A
Therein is my lair
[Chorus]
D A
Fashions they come and go
C G
Well fashionable crowds they know
Bb F
They know who is the glassblower
Em A
And wherein is his lair
[Verse 3]
Dm A/C#
Split and re-patched seams
C G
Badly re-patched dreams
Bb F#
Under funded council schemes
Em A
And my legs in the air
Dm A/C#
Fire and famine
C G
Pestilence and sin
Bb F#
But there’s no surviving
Em A
A hike in the rent
[Chorus]
D A
Fashions they come and go
C G
Well fashionable crowds they know
Bb F
They know who is the glassblower
Em A
And wherein is his lair
Em A
