Weedkiller (Jack's Side)

V6

[Intro] [Fuzz riff, swirling organ, sprayer hiss] [Verse 1] She held up the carbon in the headlamp light One line struck out in the doctor's hand, crossed out tight Salt, it said, and the kid in the shed Passed me a sack and he finally said what he'd said [Pre-Chorus] Pump it and spray it, throw it in the rows Watch the green go black wherever the white stuff goes [Chorus] Weedkiller, weedkiller Salt on the ground and a girl by my side Weedkiller, weedkiller I came for the money, now I'm staying the night [Verse 2] Doctor stood by his prize, said she's a winner, she's mine Opened up his arms and she pulled him in through the vine Nothing left but a pipe, still smoking on the floor Never liked a man who loves his marrow more [Pre-Chorus] Pour it in a circle round the old church hall Watch the vines go back, back against the wall [Chorus] Weedkiller, weedkiller Salt on the ground and a girl by my side Weedkiller, weedkiller I came for the money, now I'm staying the night [Bridge] [Phased guitar, tape echo, half-time] Sat on the tank with her face close to mine Whole village watching through the window line She's got something in her pocket, keeps it like a charm I didn't ask, babe, what's the harm [Final Chorus] Weedkiller, weedkiller Salt on the ground and a girl by my side Weedkiller, weedkiller But the road's moving under us tonight [Outro] [Low rumble, engine, tape echo spirals] Weedkiller [End]
