Fat cats get the cream
This is another of the Bahrain songs but, unusually, the repetitive intro riff came first and the words fitted around that. I like the way the intro builds up on this, with the overlapping layers of sound.

Fat cats get the cream
Bassy intro around Am Am7 G F
Am Am7 G F
Fat cats get the cream… that don’t leave too much for me
But ever losers have to dream… have to see what they can scheme
Take a trip to heaven… write it on your sleeve
Flight 911 could be all that you conceive
Ride the roller coaster…. Feel your knuckles turning white
Put you in the toaster…. Drop you in the shite
Running up to midnight …thinning out the crowd
Getting high on stagefright…. Thinking out aloud
Dm F Am
Face it, fake it, crush it, take it do what you will
Race it, space it, make it mace it go for the kill
Push it, poke it, touch it, toke it getting the thrill
F E7 Am…
But remember to keep smiling when they come and hand you the bill
Standing tall and haughty… or lying on your back
Feeling rather naughty…. Taking up the slack
We’re all in this together… the writer and the hack
Roaming in the heather… or rolling in the sack
