She Wants So Many Things Lyrics - Graham Parker

(Struck By Lightning) 

She Wants So Many Things (G. Parker) 

Capo 2 

INTRO: Em / D/ A/ D (3 times) 

G D A D 

She wants so many things you can't give to her 

G D A G 

She wants so many things you don't have much 

She wants so many things you can't deliver to her 

She wants so many things all at once 

VERSE (CHORDS: G / A / G / A) 

Like a brick wall that'll keep her from crumbling 

And a camouflage jacket to hide from herself in 

And a system of worship like a powerful magnet 

That'll draw in the heathens pick them up in a dragnet 

And pull them underwater till they all go stagnant 

BRIDGE (CHORDS: D / A / D / A) 

She wants so many things beamed in on a satellite 

Served up on a silver tray a wasp and parasite 

G D A D 

She wants so many things where you gonna find them all 

G D A G 

She wants so many things get up and run 

She wants so many things you're at her beck and call 

You're the puppet she pulls the strings just for fun 

VERSE (CHORDS: G / A / G / A) 

Like a blue ocean that's devoid of fishes 

Cause they're all on her table prepared into dishes 

Like an army of lieutenants all standing to attention 

And a book about you where YOU don't get a mention 

With her hand on a Bible she's right in your face 

She's a living example of God's bad taste 

And with him for an ally she can't be a heretic 

But her heart's from a laboratory spun from a synthetic 

BRIDGE (CHORDS: D / A / D / A) 

She wants so many things brought without question 

The Gardens of Babylon hanging and festooned 

A ship In the desert your soul on a plate 

She can't wait any longer don't make her wait 

G D A D 

She wants so many things you can't negotiate 

G D A G 

She wants so many things you feel the crunch 

She wants so many things don't make her reiterate 

She wants so many things all at once 

VERSE (CHORDS: G / A / G / A) 

A collection of clowns who were dragged up in public school 

Who dream up the rhythms that she dances in the disco to 

They all surround her and yes her to death 

With their hands on their mouths to hide their bad breath 

And she lives in a fortress at the back of a project 

And she'll let you in soon but not now and not yet 

And she likes to see you immersed in greed 

Confusing what you want with what you need 

BRIDGE (CHORDS: D / A / D / A) 

She wants so many things split up into atoms 

She owns the crown jewels but you can't get at 'em 

CHORUS 2 repeat then instrumental VERSE with doo dooo doos 

Then INTRO repeat 

G D A D 

She wants so many things you can't keep up with her 

G D A G 

She wants so many things at the same time 

She wants so many things you can't keep it up her 

She wants so many things you'll never find 

VERSE (CHORDS: G / A / G / A) 

Like three million shoes and a closet full of whips 

And two dozen hats and then everyone fits 

And the kind of acceptance that needs a lobotomy 

That'll help you accept every single contradictory 

Statement that hits you like a force nine gale 

And makes you go pale every time that you fail 

To bring home the bacon and bring in the goods 

Get the musk from the deer and the shell from the turtle 

And the gold from the fools and the shells from the sea 

She says load them in a caravan bring them to me 

BRIDGE (CHORDS: D / A / D / A) 

She wants so many things brought to her feet 

Cover every inch of the world in concrete 

You better do it it's only your fate 

She can't wait any longer don't make her wait 

G D A D 

She wants so many things you can't give to her 

G D A G 

She wants so many things you don't have much 

She wants so many things you can't deliver to her 

Everything's attached to strings you can't touch 

(fade on) She wants so many things
