A          A/C#         G
Another suburban family morning
A             A/C#            G
Grandmother screaming at the wall
A            A/C#           G
We have to shout above the din of our Rice Krispies
A              A/C#       G
We can't hear anything at all

A                 D/A
Mother chants her litany
   B7/A            D/A    D6/A
Of boredom and frustration
     A               D/A          B7/A D/A D6/A
But we know all her suicides are fake
Dm7        Dm6             Dm7      Dm6
Daddy only stares into the distance
        Dm7          Dm6              D/E E D/E E
There's only so much more that he can take

Chorus:
Asus2        F/A            G6             Dm/F
Many miles away something crawls from the slime
        E              Fmaj7      E  Esus4 G6 D6
At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake

Another industrial ugly morning
The factory belches filth into the sky
He walks unhindered
Through the picket lines today
He doesn't think to wonder why

The secretaries pout and preen like
Cheap tarts in a red light street
But all he ever thinks to do is watch
And every single meeting
With his so-called superior
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch

Chorus

Another working day has ended
Only the rush hour hell to face
Packed like lemmings
Into shiny metal boxes
Contestants in a suicidal race

Daddy grips the wheel
And stares alone into the distance
He knows that something
Somewhere has to break
He sees the family home
Now looming in his headlights
The pain upstairs
That makes his eyeballs ache

Chorus:
Many miles away
There's a shadow on the door
Of a cottage on the shore
Of a dark Scottish lake

Many miles away
Many miles away
Many miles away
Many miles away
Many miles away
Many miles away
Many miles away
