Intro: E Verse 1: E There's indifference on the wind, but a faint gust of hope E At a club nobody goes to, with a musty velvet rope A Guys in Motörhead jackets who knew him way back when E Haven't raised a drink in years but now meet up again D A To remember how it was when they all thought they'd move away E A And ride in Lotus 7s through the London streets one day
Chorus 1: B E A Nobody ever gets away B A B C Even the best of us come back some day D E A To the unmarked rooms, where the dry dust breeds E A B E Andrew Eldritch is moving back to Leeds Verse 2: E There's a rusted fog machine in a concrete storage space E Letter-number combinations with no meaning on its face A They won't make these anymore, it's a wooden coach-n-four E No-one will even steal it if you leave it by the door D A No sign to mark it's going, no tombstone for its grave E A There will be goodbyes by dozens, so practice being brave Chorus 2: B E A No-one anticipates the rush B A B C The breezy feeling of the faceless crush D E A At the end of things, where the salvage bleeds E A B Eaug Andrew Eldritch is moving back to Leeds Bridge: E B G#m C#m They don't throw him a parade, he just comes in on a train Am6 E One suitcase in his hand and an old army backpack A From the Second World War B From a Leipzig secondhand store E Eaug E Verse 3: E Pick the keys up from the agent, everything's been taken care of E No big changes in the roadways since you've left that I'm aware of A A few old buildings gone to dust and some new ones in the way E They'll look just like the old ones when the winds have had their say D A See the children bound for London; you'll all be back too E A Everybody tests the membrane but no-one pushes through Chorus 3: B E A Come on boys that'll be enough B A B C You'd think your old friends wouldn't play so tough D E A Like a basket by the Nile, hiding down among the reeds E A B Andrew Eldritch is moving back to Leeds Outro:
