Newton the Cyborg

D G
I’m sure you’ve heard of Newton, A scientist of Pedigree,
A D
Came up with many Physical Laws, Discovered Gravity,
G
But there are some things you don’t know,
A D A
Let Me See...
D G
There are seven colours in the rainbow cause Newton wanted there to be,
A D
In his spare time he secretly studied alchemy,
G D
An apple falling on his head is just a fallacy,
D A D
And also he’s a time travelling cyborg (wait, what?)
G D
Newton the Cyborg’s living in Hawaii,
A D
Proving adequately his first theory,
G D
Bodies at rest tend to stay at rest,
D A D
And also pick up chicks and drink bacardi,
When he was an MP he said one sentence, nothing more,
And that’s just cause there was a draft and he wanted someone to close the door,
Newton's 8th Law is there is no Newtons 9th Law,
Newton's 9th Law is, yes there is (wait what?)
Newton the Cyborg’s living in Hawaii,
Proving adequately his first theory,
Bodies at rest tend to stay at rest,
And also pick up chicks and drink bacardi,
He predicted the Apocalypse, 2036 AD,
And as he’s a time traveller, I’m inclined to agree,
But maybe that’s his cyborg powers hypnotising me,
Also, newton invented Marmite (wait what?)
Newton the Cyborg’s living in Hawaii,
Proving adequately his first theory,
Bodies at rest tend to stay at rest,
And also pick up chicks and drink bacardi,
He’s got psychic powers and lasers for eyes,
17th Century Scientist was just a big disguise,
He’s J.R. Tolkien's ghost writer, he taught beethoven to symphonise,
And I heard he travels with The Mechanisms (wait what?)
Newton the Cyborg’s living in Hawaii,
Proving adequately his first theory,
Bodies at rest tend to stay at rest,
And also pick up chicks and drink bacardi,

Giant Spider Mountain
02:28

|
D G D
My friends I’ve been a wandering for nigh on 30 years,
A D
I’ve been through dungeons, castles, got my share of souvenirs,
G D
I’ve looted all the corpses of my long forgotten friends,
A
And I think it's time that my adventuring should end, So,
D A D
Take me back to giant spider mountain,
G A D
Where the zombie goblins, are toiling in the sun,
G A D
Take me back to giant spider mountain,
G A D
And let me join the zombies when I’m done,
G D
When I’m done, when I’m done,
D A
Let me join the zombies when I’m done,
G D
When I’m done, when I’m done,
D A
Let me join the zombies when I’m done,
For Giant Spider mountain, is where I was born and bread,
A place so full of peace and joy even when you are dead
The zombies are all so polite, the grass is always green,
And honestly, there’s not a giant spider to be seen, So,
chorus
The settlers who built our town, they were a little strange,
The thought that skulls and midnight black were really all the range,
There’s gargoyles on the parapets, and skeletons, and ghouls,
But everyone has fun as long as you obey the rules…
Take me back to giant spider mountain,
Where the zombie goblins, are toiling in the sun,
Take me back to giant spider mountain,
And let me join the zombies when I’m done,
When I’m done, when I’m done,
Let me join the zombies when I’m done,
When I’m done, when I’m done,
Let me join the zombies when I’m done,

Lady Hands
02:38
|

|
G A D
I’m gonna rub my lady hands all over your things,
G A D
And not in the way that you’d like,
G A D
I’m gonna take your TV shows, and your favorite films,
G A D
Cause it’s finally Ladies Night,
A
We’re gonna bust ghosts,
D
Just like we’re busting through that glass ceiling,
A
We’re gonna be centre stage,
D
Giving little girls something to believe in,
G
We’re gonna use the force,
D
Though I’ll note historically we always have,
A
We’re gonna be the heroes,
D
And if you don’t like it that’s too bad,
Chorus
We’re gonna carry swords,
Not just stand to one side and and scream,
We’re gonna do the science too,
Cuz there’s gonna be more than one of us on a team,
We’re gonna have a point,
And not just be there for the hero to kiss,
Your whining’s getting old,
Along with sexist tropes that no-one’s gonna miss,
Chorus
We’re why Star Trek didn’t die,
We’re why it had a season three,
You think that we don’t have a place?
Go and read yourself some nerd history,
Chorus
A
And if you think for a second that,
A shape shifting alien,
A
Who, let’s all remember,
never started as an alien,
A
Who's story’s changed more often than,
Donald Trump's Opinion,
A
Couldn’t possibly ever,
shape shift into a woman,
G
Then I have a question about why your complaining,
D
Is it really ‘cause of canon, or your “fear for the ratings”,
A
I’d rather you admit, you’re a sexist little git,
Than listen to anymore of your shit,
Chorus X2

City of Sirens
03:12
|

|
The streets are paved with myths and,
The bars cast a seductive spell,
They say that if you walk certain streets at night,
You could walk right down into hell,
There’s a mystry on every street corner,
And a singer in every bar,
There’s rumours in every flavour,
And if you’re clever you’ll become a star,
You’re in the city of Sirens,
Where the gods never sleep,
Where the neon lights shine just a little too bright,
And there’s a whisper down every darkened street,
In the City of Sirens,
Where every moments a dream,
Can you keep your head, can you keep your cool,
When nothing’s as it seems?
When nothings as it seems,
There’s a broad knocking at your window,
She says she’s got a secret to tell,
There’s a man with a gun, he’s promising fun,
And everyone’s got something to sell,
There’s a sheen to the streets in the lamplight,
There’s a song going round in your head,
There’s something not right can you feel it,
But there’s nowhere you’d rather be instead,
You’re in the city of Sirens,
Where the gods never sleep,
Where the neon lights shine just a little too bright,
And there’s a whisper down every darkened street,
In the City of Sirens,
Where every moments a dream,
Can you keep your head, can you keep your cool,
When nothing’s as it seems?
When nothings as it seems,

Am C D
Your eyes, like sunlight,
Am C D
Made my day feel bright,
Am C D
If I could just get a little closer,
E7
Oh I knew I'd be alright,
Yes I was sunkissed,
Living in bliss,
If I could just reach out and touch,
But oh what a deadly wish,
The sun felt warm upon my wings,
The sight was dazzling,
And even the hot wax dripping on my skin,
Felt like forbidden sin,
I wish you hadn't made falling feel so good,
I flew on my wings,
Made of dreams and string,
Woven with forgotten promises,
Such delicate things,
I flew so high,
Just a dot in the sky,
Everything glittered,
And I was by your side,
Chorus.
And now I'm all broken bones,
Crooked limbs on cruel stone,
If I had only listened,
If I had only known…
Chorus

D
The house is too large without you,
G
Like I could get lost in the walls,
D
The cities to loud, and the dances to fast,
A
And the buildings are too tall,
G D
The sky is too big for me,
D A
I need you here, like I never thought I would,
G D
And I'm wishing that you could see,
D A
Just how I feel but I don't think that you should,
And the whole world is smiling at me,
Oh they think i'm the belle of the ball,
A cinderella fairy tale's a precarious thing,
I've got everything and nothing at all,
The sky is too big for me,
I need you here, like I never thought I would,
And I'm wishing that you could see,
Just how I feel but I don't think that you should,
A
I thought I wanted to be flying,
D
Now I'm here it feels like falling,
A D
You're the only thing that's keeping me off the ground,
A
I should not have done this too you,
D
It's too late now, what can I do
A G
I should tell you, but how would that sound?
G
And why should you believe it, a second time around?
The sky is too big for me,
I need you here, like I never thought I would,
And I'm wishing that you could see,
Just how I feel but I don't think that you should,

Em G
She came to us from a far off land,
D Em
Escaped from the grip of her oppressors hand,
Em G
She was filled with righteous flames,
D Em
She would cleanse the world of all its shame,
Em D Em
She saw the world in a different light,
Em D
And all it took was a dagger in the night,
Em
To make things right.
Em
She believed she was justice,
G D
She believed that he was a monster,
Em
She was the judge and the jury,
G D
And she was the executioner,
Em D
And all it took was a dagger in the night,
Em
To make things right. X2
There was a man, and he oppressed the poor,
it was all legal but what’s a law?
A crutch that supported a man so cruel,
why should she care for these unjust rules,
But it was not the law she had to fight,
And all it took was a dagger in the night
To make things right.
She believed she was justice,
She believed that he was a monster,
She was the judge and the jury,
And she was the executioner,
And all it took was a dagger in the night,
To make things right. X2
A young man came to the cities doors,
Believed her tales, believed her war,
He is a good man, and a little unsure,
Murdering and killing what good is it for?
But still, the young man understood her plight,
That all it took was a dagger in the night
To make things right,
She believed she was justice,
He believed that she was a monster,
She was the judge and the jury,
And she was the executioner,
And all it took was a dagger in the night,
To make things right. X2
She killed a man, for little in the middle of the bar,
The young man wondered was this going too far,
Was the woman a hero, the saviour of the town,
Or a madwoman, someone needed to take down?
He began to see things in a different light,
And all it took was a dagger in the night
To make things right.
She believed she was justice,
He believed that she was a monster,
She was the judge and the jury,
But he was the executioner,
And all it took was a dagger in the night,
To make things right. X2
He believed he was justice,
He believed that she was a monster,
He was the judge and the jury,
And he was the executioner,
And all it took was a dagger in the night,
To make things right. X2
