Verse
Now Lucy's looking sweet, though he dresses like a queen, he can
kick like a mule, its a real mean team.
We can love, we can love.
And my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones we
never got it off on that revolution stuff.
What a drag - too many snags.

Well I drunk a lotta wine and I'm feelin' fine -

concrete all around or is it
in my head? Oh, Brother, ya guessed - I'm a dude.

Ok, here we go. This is my first post, so deep breaths. This is quite
tricky to play in parts. It's based on the 'David Live' version - as
I don't have a copy of Mott the Hopple! Have fun. Comments corrections
etc, mail me.
