Alas Agnes Lyrics

Agnes it all ended up in tears
Well we were an odd couple you and I
In our strange and original attire
I thought, I thought it was love at first sight
My mother, my mother, she shivered with spite
Well I couldn't tell if you were boy or girl
My mind was in such a swirl
It was a case of grist to the mill
True love grows, it grows oh where it will (E--0--2--4--7---)
F#m A Em(high) Bm
Alas, Oh Agnes
I still adore you, oh Agnes
Oh Agnes, Oh Agnes, Oh Agnes, Oh Agnes
Agnes it all ended up in tears
But you still have your souvenirs
You've got scars from head to toe
It's getting hard to tell your friends from foe
N.C (But they are the same as the first verse)
Well, you picked me up at the station
After my backstreet operation
You broke me, you broke the painful news
You dumped me, you dumped me for a pretty young muse D
So the lessons they are there to learn
My scars are caused by cigarette burns
I have no mirrors and I spend my days
Reminiscing on your porcelain gaze (E--0--2--4--7---)
F#m A Em(high) Bm
Alas, Oh Agnes
I still adore you, oh Agnes
Oh Agnes, Oh Agnes, Oh Agnes, Oh Agnes
Oh Agnes I adore you
Oh Agnes I adore you
Oh Agnes I adore you
Oh Agnes I still adore you
F#m A Em(high) Bm
End on A
