Desperately Trying To Be Different
Am
lizzy the lizard
G
met an angry young snake
F
with forked-tongue grace
E
by the name of Jake;
F G Am
a yellow-eyed diamond back rattler
Am
in the chill-out room
G
of the 'wild-life' saloon
F
she admired his skin
E
Jake said it was fake
F G
and Liz said: "Who cares
Am
it don't really matter!"
Chorus:
F G
a question to raise
G Am
why people these days
C
like slaves to a craze
Am G
are somehow hell bent
Am G Am Am G
yet always content with fort

une's spent
Am G Am
on desperately tryin'to be different
(continue: Am G F E F G Am)
wily the weasel said
to Sammy the snitch
let's go to the dogs
and bet on that bitch
the greyhound
that runs like a panther
they made a big score,
went to the hi-fashion store
they bought two suits of shark skin
furs, ermine and mink
all decked out for the next chapter
(chorus)
Nancy the nympho
yelled at lola la leech
Ď need a permanent wave
with lotsa bleach
I wanna look like a cheap German dancer
she could pass for a queen
in a second hand dream
inside the gloom of the 'wildlife saloon'
the wolfwhistles
sounded just like laughter
