H^Cow are things in yo^Amur little world, I ho^Fpe they're going well and yo^Fu are too D^Co you still see the s^Amame old crowd, the o^Fnes who used to meet e^Fvery Friday? I^C'm really sorry that I c^Aman't be there But wo^Frk comes first I'm sure you'll un^Fderstand Th^Cings are really taking o^Amff for me Bu^Fsiness is thriving and I'm sh^Fowing a profit an^Amd ^AmAnd in a^Fny ca^Cse,^Am it wouldn't ^Fbe the s^Came Cause we've ^Amall grown ^Cup and we've g^Amot our own li^Cves And the v^Amalues that we h^Cad once u^Ampon a t^Cime Seem st^Amupid now 'cause the re^Fnt must be paid And s^Amome bonds severed and o^Fthers made ^Am ^F ^C ^AmDit dit dit dit di^Ft do^C n do di^Amt dit dit dit di^Ft d^Co n do C Am F C Am F C Am F C Am F

N^Cow I don't want you to g^Amet me wrong, id^Feals are fine when y^Fou are young C Am F F ^AmAnd I must admit we had a laugh, but that's all it was and ever will be cos ^AmCos the bu^Frning s^Cky k^Ameeps a burn^Fing br^Cight And as l^Among as it do^Ces, and it al^Amways wi^Cll There's no t^Amime for dre^Cams when com^Ammerce c^Calls And the ta^Amxman's shouting 'cause he wa^Fnts his dough And the w^Amheels of finance won't be^Fgin to slow ^Am ^F ^C ^AmDit dit dit dit di^Ft do^C n do d^Amit dit dit dit dit^F do ^Cn do Am F C Am F C Am F C ^AmDit ^Fdit^C dit dit di do dit dit dit di do, dit dit dit dit di do dit dit dit di do And it's o^Amnly us realists who are g^Fonna come through Cause there's o^Amnly one power higher than t^Fhat of truth Am F C Am F C C Am F C Am F C Am F ^CAn^Amd t^Fhat'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.
