graham parker - success lyrics
esus4 e (strummed, then) intro:
esus4 e b c#m7
oooh ooooh oooh ooooh ooh ooooh (twice)
followed by notes: e eb c# b e e f# g#
a b g#m a
the dreams and hopes of men are powered by addiction
a b g#m a
and who am i to say that this is an affliction
a b e a
when everybody gets suckered in and lives their lives like fiction
a b e
writing their own stories of success
they say they want you for your colourful evocation
the way you turn a cliche into a sensation
but all they ever wanted was that same vibration
the one that shimmers round success
chorus
esus4 e b c#m7
success success success success
esus4 e b c#m7
success success success success
e a e
all you ever need… success
[repeat intro]
you can’t be happy while some one else has a fistful
they glow from tv screens healthy strong and fiscal
and everybody slaps their back while you’re alone with a wristful
jerking to the rhythm of success
[chorus]
