whilst the main notes in riff 3 are being played, the above riff for
guitar 2 is played in the background.




(riff 1)
I'd like to be what some of the fuss is all about
Excuse me mother while I scream and shout
Pass me the key, I'd like to let myself out and go

Excuse me mother, I am only bleeding
Is that a family manual you are reading
Don't you think that it's a little bit too late?
'Cos I'm already the consequence of somebody elses fate
So I'll go

(riff 2)
do doo do doo etc..

(riff 3)
(riff 2)
(riff 3)
(riff 1)
It's a mundane experience living with mother and I
I'd rather catch something controversial and die
And don't you know that she's making me see red
And I doubt if she's heard a single word that I've said

(riff 2)
do doo do doo etc...
(riff 3)
(riff 2)
(riff 3 let last note ring)
