Best in Show (Jack's Side)

V6

[Intro] [Fuzz guitar riff, swirling organ, motorbike rev] [Verse 1] Rode in on the flat road, sky the colour of rust Nobody in the village had a word I'd trust Then a girl in a raincoat with her hands talking fast Said the marrows are growing and the badgers are a mask [Pre-Chorus] Everybody laughed, I didn't laugh at all Something in the bunting, something in the hall [Chorus] Best in show, best in show Hold on tight, girl, we've got to go Rosettes and fire and the vines in the floor I came for a pint, now I'm riding for yours [Verse 2] Copper went to the rhubarb, he was gone in a blink Left his helmet in the mud, didn't have time to think Old man with a shotgun took a bow to the crowd Then the pieces started growing and they pulled him down [Pre-Chorus] Everybody screamed, I kicked the engine on Two arms round my middle and the hall was gone [Chorus] Best in show, best in show Hold on tight, girl, we've got to go Rosettes and fire and the vines in the floor I came for a pint, now I'm riding for yours [Bridge] [Phased guitar, tape echo] Pulled in at the lay-by, fog as thick as wool Asked about the carbon, she went quiet and cool I know a man in London, pays a pretty price I said it like a joke, babe, I only said it twice [Final Chorus] Best in show, best in show Hold on tight, girl, we've got to go Rosettes and fire and the vines in the floor I came for a pint, now I'm riding for yours [Outro] [Engine fades into tape echo] Best in show [End]
