Don't touch my belly or I'll kill you! (I'll kill you!) D G Don't touch my belly or you'll die (Start praying) D A It's not that I don't like you, D Although right now? I DON'T LIKE YOU G Anyway, so... killing. I'm just saying. D A D My baby's well protected by my organs of digestion D G And the part that you're now squeezing is in fact my small intestine D A And it's flattered by your love, but you know what, we were hoping D G You could show your love some other way than groping. D A D Don't touch my belly or I'll kill you! (I'll kill you!) Don't touch my belly or you'll die (Start praying) It's not that I don't like you, Although right now? I DON'T LIKE YOU Anyway, so... killing. I'm just saying. Have you heard of morning sickness? It's when pregnant women puke - So to guide your understanding of the strength of my rebuke Please consider that you're poking at my half-digested food I sure hope you're in a do-my-laundry mood. Don't touch my belly or I'll kill you! (I'll kill you!) Don't touch my belly or you'll die (Start praying) It's not that I don't like you, Although right now? I DON'T LIKE YOU Anyway, so... killing. I'm just saying. My family, my friends, my neighbours, customers at work The people on my bus ride, excited grocery clerks All reaching out like zombies - does my belly smell like brains? I'm thinking of investing in a chainsaw. Don't touch my belly or I'll kill you! (I'll kill you!) Don't touch my belly or you'll die (Start praying) It's not that I don't like you, Or... no, no that was the reason! Anyway, so... killing. I'm just saying.

Itchy Feet 02:33
Insert metal fitting to buckle and lift to release Bm D G E My passport can tell you migration is not just for geese Bm D E G For my feet itch to move and I dance on the map Bm D And a faraway friend's like a gift to unwrap E G I'll leave for a pin or a one-dollar bill Bm D And I always come home but I cannot be still. G E Bm D E G I cannot be still Bm D E G G My heart is at ease in the place where the home fires burn Bm D G E But it's somehow improved when I leave it behind and return Bm D E G For my feet itch to move and I dance on the map Bm D And a faraway friend's like a gift to unwrap E G I'll leave for a pin or a one-dollar bill Bm D And I always come home but I cannot be still. G E Bm D E G I cannot be still Bm D E G Ohhh G old boarding passes Bm hotel drinking glasses D taxi-cab snuggling G vacation day juggling E Ohhh E Lost reservations Bm Decrepit train stations D the Gideon bible G G Departures/Arrivals E E Ahhh Bm D E G Ahhh Bm D E G It's the distance between us that keeps us together Bm D For I love you as the wild goose loves his feathers G E And I cannot be still Bm D E G I cannot be still Bm D E G

I wish I had my time again, I wish I had my time again, I wish I had my time again Georgia: I barely felt the needle break the skin How can you overlook your own... how can you overlook? What's written in the blood can't be erased I'm not overreacting. I'm not overreacting. Shaun, spoken: I know. I wish I had my time again, I wish I had my time again, I wish I had my time again. Both: When I saw the lights were solid red Every light was, every light was, every light was red When I saw the lights were solid red My world ended, my world ended, my world ended I wish I had my time again, I wish I had my time again, I wish I had my time again. Shaun: I can hear your voice but you're not here And all the cola I can drink does not return you I can hear your voice but you're not here And I'm not either, I'm not really, here without you Shaun:I wish I had my time again I wish I had my time again I wish I had my time again Georgia: When will you rise? When will you rise? Shaun:I wish I had my time again I wish I had my time again I wish I had my time again Georgia: When will you rise? When will you rise?

Watson's Hat 01:36
I went to the theatre for Sherlock Holmes and my heart nearly skipped a beat D (DaddG D) G D Doctor Watson came on - I looked him up and down - but I didn't spend very long on his feet D (DaddG D) A Bb A Oh you may swoon for the handsome faces, but baby they leave me flat G Gsus4 G D I've set my aim just a little bit higher - I'm in love with Watson's hat D (DaddG D) G A7 D Oh yes I'm in love with his bowler hat G A7 D I'm hoping that Watson & Holmes hook up, though it ain't what Conan Doyle intended D (DaddG D) G D 'Cause if those pretty boys take their weskits off, that beautiful hat will be left unattended D (DaddG D) A Bb A Oh you may swoon for the handsome faces, but baby they leave me flat G Gsus4 G D I've set my aim just a little bit higher - I'm in love with Watson's hat D (DaddG D) G A7 D Oh yes I'm in love with his bowler hat G A7 D Yeah I'm bowled-over by that brown bowler - G Gsus4 G It's a topper that can't be topped D If you'd be a good chap and just... tip your cap... G Gsus4 Baby my heart would just stop A Bb A I don't need to know your income, dear, or examine your social stature D (DaddG D) G D If you want my love just let know the name of your haberdasher D (DaddG D) A Bb A Oh you may swoon for the handsome faces, but baby they leave me flat G Gsus4 G D I've set my aim just a little bit higher - I'm in love with Watson's hat D (DaddG D) G A7 D Oh yes I'm in love with his bowler hat G A7 D That's right, I'm in love with a bowler hat G A7 D
