I have to give some credits here to Josephine Pennock, Emma Crowhurst... possibly Rebecca Cundy and Natalie - I can't remember exactly, but either way we wrote this in the McCauley centre in 6th form and I finished it off and gave it some music..

Lampshade Boulevard

E                              C                   
Washing machines turn tarty clothes
Am                 G                        
When hate mail comes in droves
E                     C                    
Gotta cut that top a bit lower
Am            G           
So you can show her
F              E                  E7
Something that isn’t real

E                     C                    
Miles of her go on forever
Am               G                     
Voice so sharp it could sever
E                  C                    
In order to get some sleep
Am        G             
We have to keep
F               E               E7
The thought it isn’t real

Bm                   
Shallow as a lake
F#m                                     
Drowned don’t want to wake
Bm                                
Lampshade has no power
F#m                       E        
Boulevard is just fake


She is not quite what she seems
She’ll cut you up, destroy your dreams
Her spiteful tongue will be her end
She’ll lose another loving friend
Then she’ll know it isn’t real

A look to turn the devils eye
She’s says she’ll call but she wont try
The cheeky face you thought you knew
Will turn around and screw you too
To prove it isn’t real


Shallow as a lake
Drowned don’t want to wake
Lampshade has no power
Boulevard is just fake
