Verse 1: 
 
F G7/F 
Your multilingual business friend 
Bb/F F 
Has packed her bags and fled 
F G7/F 
Leaving only ash-filled ashtrays 
Bb/F F 
And the lipsticked unmade bed 
Dm Gm 
The mirror, a reflection 
F/C C 
Has climbed back upon the wall 
F G7/F 
For the floor she found descended 
Bb/F F 
And the ceiling was too tall 
 
Chorus: 
 
F Bb 
Your trouser cuffs are dirty 
G C 
And your shoes are laced up wrong 
A7 Dm F/C 
You‘d better take off your homburg 
Bb F 
‘Cause your overcoat is too long 
 
[repeat intro] 
 
Verse 2: 
 
The town clock in the market square 
Stands waiting for the hour 
When its hands they won‘t turn backwards 
And on meeting will devour 
Both themselves and also any fool 
Who dares to tell the time 
And the sun and moon will shatter 
And the signposts cease to sign
