H^Dow are things in yo^Bmur little world, I ho^Gpe they're going well and yo^Au are too D^Do you still see the s^Bmame old crowd, the o^Gnes who used to meet e^Avery Friday' I^D'm really sorry that I c^Bman't be there But wo^Grk comes first I'm sure you'll un^Aderstand Th^Dings are really taking o^Bmff for me Bu^Gsiness is thriving and I'm sh^Aowing a profit an^Bmd ^BmAnd in a^Any ca^Dse,^Bm it wouldn't ^Abe the s^Dame Cause we've ^Bmall grown ^Dup and we've g^Bmot our own li^Dves And the v^Bmalues that we h^Dad once u^Bmpon a t^Dime Seem st^Bmupid now 'cause the re^Ant must be paid And s^Bmome bonds severed and o^Athers made ^Bm ^A ^D ^BmDit dit dit dit di^At do^D n do di^Bmt dit dit dit di^At d^Do n do D Bm A D Bm A D Bm A D Bm A

N^Dow I don't want you to g^Bmet me wrong, id^Geals are fine when y^Aou are young D Bm G A ^BmAnd I must admit we had a laugh, but that's all it was and ever will be cos ^BmCos the bu^Arning s^Dky k^Bmeeps a burn^Aing br^Dight And as l^Bmong as it do^Des, and it al^Bmways wi^Dll There's no t^Bmime for dre^Dams when com^Bmmerce c^Dalls And the ta^Bmxman's shouting 'cause he wa^Ants his dough And the w^Bmheels of finance won't be^Agin to slow ^Bm ^A ^D ^BmDit dit dit dit di^At do^D n do d^Bmit dit dit dit dit^A do ^Dn do Bm A D Bm A D Bm A D ^BmDit ^Adit^D dit dit di do dit dit dit di do, dit dit dit dit di do dit dit dit di do And it's o^Bmnly us realists who are g^Aonna come through Cause there's o^Bmnly one power higher than t^Ahat of truth Bm A D Bm A D D Bm A D Bm A D Bm A ^DAn^Bmd t^Ahat's the burning sky, it's the burning sky

Oh and by the way I must tell you, before I sign off I've got a meeting next week With the head of a big corporate I can't disclose who but I'm sure you all know him and And the burning sky keeps a burning bright And it won't turn off til it's had enough It's the greedy bastard who won't give up And you're just a dreamer if you don't realise And the sooner you do will be the better for you And then we'll all be happy and we'll all be wise And we'll all bow down to the burning sky Dit dit dit dit dit do n do, dit dit dit dit do n do Dit dit dit dit di do dit dit dit di do, dit dit dit dit di do dit dit dit di do Then we'll all be happy and we'll all be wise And together we will live beneath the burning sky NOTE: this is taken from the acoustic version from the album Extras.
