Force Of Nature Lyrics by Graham Parker

Force Of Nature Lyrics

    pre>this little shuffle climbs and climbs over the circular chord progression.
    It's fun to play. when i look at the lyrics it makes me think this woman
    Is one of gp's fictional favourites - the sloane ranger he loves to despise.
    It's probably not a real person, but no doubt he knows the type.

    Intro: bb eb bb eb bb eb bb bb

    Verse
    Bb c
    She's got everything she needs and it isn't you
    Eb f
    A cosmetic arsenal a bucket of glue
    Bb c
    Signs on her back that say keep on the grass
    Eb f
    Powerful liquor in a hip flask
    Bb c
    Coins from the commonwealth doubloons from the sea
    Eb f
    A knife in her boot heel a bonsai tree
    Bb c
    Ice cream in her pocket diamonds from her fence
    Eb f
    It all works like clockwork it all makes sense

    Chorus
    Bb eb bb eb bb eb
    To a force of nature, force of nature, force of nature
    Bb bb
    That's what she is

    With her clouded leopard on a leash in the shed
    A vicious black rodent she calls fred
    She keeps her diary under the bed
    But there's nothin' in it cos it's all in her head
    Walkin' round london with foreign banknotes
    Throwin' silver nunchucks at cab drivers throats
    Being invisible being obscene
    Being the person you wish you'd been

    Chorus repeat

    Bridge
    Dm cm7
    But inside her heart there's a kid locked away in a room
    Dm cm7
    Who throws a grenade at your feet that explodes with such force
    F bb eb bb
    That it bursts your balloon like a force of nature

    Bridge
    But inside her heart there's this kid locked away in a room
    Who peeks through the door every now and again
    And says hey i'm coming out soon

    Verse
    Her raincoat jingles your mercury soars
    Every last move defies gravity's laws
    Her computer's connected directly to the stars
    Keeps her emotions in mason jars
    Stored in the attic in the roof near the sky
    Up in the rafters where the bats fly
    Being impossible being on a roll
    Being like something you can't control
