Lyrics vary according to show, but I collated them. Note that Fifths are
"power chords". Just play the bass notes of the chord. Use heavy damping on
this tune as well. For those of you wondering, "Sex Mad Roar" was a piss-take,
done with Do it Now in an afternoon, and so it doesn't count. There's a coda on
that track with the bass playing F#-A-B-C# (I think) and the guitars doing
F#-A over it( with Nick cheekily playing the lead riff from "Jumping Someone
Else's Train" over it), but don't quote me on that.
