A logical tribute to that Band... Great songs and brilliant career,,,
I was lucky to see them, still very good on stage,
in a small venue The Cluny in Newcastle, UK... on nov28-2013
Great gig !
So I composed the tabs next day... to share it,,,
I recommend that song to my fellow bass players...
Just enjoy !!
And rate !!

Creeping over to you on a Saturday afternoon
I must have been ill, I was early
Crawling along, I was seeing what had happened
Through last night
it was nothing I assure you

Well it's time to place your bets
You better make sure it's a safe one
You could always answer no
I never smoked your cigarettes
I suppose you could say that's a safe one

Falling over each other in the rush to get in their worth
It's so sad and it's boring
It's a shame we couldn’t focus on our powers somewhere else
Someone nice someone caring

But it's all been said before
Still nothing ever changes
We're still hunting out for more
I never meant to cut you short
I wasn't capable of anything

On my bike, up the glen, in the sun
Round the bends, having fun, playing games
In the rain, in the lakes, at the gig
Watch the stage from the crowd, in the clouds
Going down, eating in, on the town, in a spin
