First the mic then a half cigarette

Singing "Cathy's Clown"

She shows no emotion at all

Stares into space like a dead china doll

I'm so glad that my memory's remote
         Am/F#                   B7                
Cos I'm doing just fine, hour to hour, note to note
Em                G               
Here it is the revenge to the tune
C      A7  D   
You're no  good
          Am                              Em  
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good

Can't you tell that it's well understood

It's okay, it's alright, nothing's wrong
Em                  G             
Tell Mr. Man with impossible plans
        C     A7   D  
To just leave me alone
        Am                     Em    
In the place where I make no mistakes
