Cm                           D#
Oooh Watching the people get lairy
      F                 Cm
It's not very pretty I tell thee
                               D#
Walking through town is quite scary
      F                 Cm
It's not very sensible either
                              D#
A friend of a friend he got beaten
    F                          Cm
He looked the wrong way at a policeman
                              D#
Would never have happened to Smeaton
   F
An Old Leodensian

Cm   G/B A#              F
La...lah la la la la la la
Cm   G/B A#              F
Ah...ah la la la la la la

Chorus:
G#
I predict a riot
C#          G#
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
C#           G#
I predict a riot

I tried to get to my taxi
The man in a tracksuit attacks me
He said that he saw it before me
And wants to get things a bit gory
Girls scrabble round with no clothes on
To borrow a pound for a condom
If it wasn't for chip fat they'd be frozen
They're not very sensible

La...la la la la la
Ah...la la la la la

Chorus

               D                C
And if there's anybody left in here
      A#                      G#
That doesn't want to be out there
Ah...

Watching the people get lairy
It's not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
It's not very sensible

La...la la la la la
Ah...la la la la la

Chorus:
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot

And if there's anybody left in here
That doesn't want to be out there

Chorus:
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
