     A
The pay-me girl has had enough of the bleeps
        D             C      G
So she takes a bus into the country
A
Although she got herself rosy cheeks
     D                   C        G
She didn't leave enough money to pay the rent

The landlord says that she's out in a week
What a shame, she was just getting comfy
Now she's eating chocolate to induce sleep
And in a chemical world, it's very, very, very cheap

Chorus:
A                      Amaj7
And I don't know about you
F#m     C#m         Bm         D    F
They're putting the holes in, yes, yes
A                     Amaj7
It's been a hell of a do
F#m           C#m         Bm        D    F
They've been putting the holes in, yes, yes

Peeping Thomas has a very nice view
Across the street at the exhibitionist
These townies, they never speak to you
Just stick together so they never get lonely

Feeling lead, feeling quite light-headed
Had to sit down and have some sugary tea
In a chemical world, in a chemical world
It's very, very, very cheap

Chorus:
And I don't know about you
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes
It's been a hell of a do
They've been putting the holes in, yes, yes, yes

I don't know about you
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes
It's been a hell of a do
They've been putting the holes in, yes, yes
And now she's right out of view
They've been putting the holes in, yes, yes
Well, I don't know about you
They've been putting the holes in, yes, yes

Until you can see right through
Until you can see right through
Until you can see right through
