Graham Parker – Clear Head lyrics

Intro C G (8 times)
C G C G C G C G
Look round baby tell me what you say, am I imagining it, is it me
C G C G D C G
Does the world get faster day by day? You better get a clear head hey
What a shock you better start to pray even the dumb got something to say
Even the blind ain't lookin away but you better get a clear head hey
Ah you better get a clear head hey
D D D D
I tell you clear head, clear head, clear head, clear head
C G G D G
You better get a clear head hey, you better get one now

Mona Lisa wears a frown cause cos everybody's trying to shut her down
They say it's my turn too I want my share but you better get a clear head yeah
On the fault line as the sun rises the only prizes were torture devices
Californians say, have a real nice day but they better get a clear head hey
Yeah they'd better get a clear head hey

I tell you clear head, clear head, clear head, clear head
You better get a clear head hey, you better get one now

Instrumental break (Harmonica over D C D G) then
G C G G C G
Clear head, clear head yeah,
G C C G C C
Clear head, clear head yeah

Bridge
D D C D D C
Blind half the time, have to be, blind crazy on a shell shocked bay
D G C Bm C G C D D
If you want to get it on this way you'd better get a clear head hey, hey

In days gone by it was a diseased rye,
They burned them up and said the answer is God
They talk all night and stayed awake all day they said
You better get a clear head hey

Six weeks solitary in the dark a pinball's gained and lost the vital spark
Like a crazy fever on a planet today, you better get a clear head hey
Ah you better get a clear head hey I tell you

I tell you clear head, clear head, clear head, clear head
You better get a clear head hey, you better get one now

Instrumental break as before then

Clear head, clear head yeah, clear head, clear head yeah
Clear head, clear head yeah, clear head, ........ Yeah
You better get one now
