Graham Parker Mercury Poisoning Lyrics:
INTRO C C C G Bb F C G Bb F

C G Bb F C G Bb F
No more pretending now,
the albatross is dying in
its nest C G
The company is crippling me, Bb F Am Am
the worst trying to ruin
the best, the best
Bb C
Their promotion's so lame
Bb C
They could never ever take it
to the real ball game
F G
Maybe they think I'm a pet
F
Well I've got all the diseases G G G
I'm breaking out in
sweat, you bet, because

CHORUS
C G Bb F

C G Bb F
It's fatal and it don't get better
C G Bb F
I got, Mercury poisoning Bb
C G Bb F C G Bb F
The best kept secret in the
we--est, hey the we--est

The boys and me are
getting real well known

around town
But every time we try to
spread the action
Someone always brings it down, down
I ate the orange and I don't feel well
For them it's
inconvenience for me it's
hell
The geriatric staff think we're freaks
They couldn't sell kebabs to
the Greeks, the geeks
Inaction speaks, and

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Am G Am G
Is this a Russian conspiracy,
no it's just idiocy
F G
Is this a Chinese burn
Am G Am G
I gotta dinosaur for a representative
F G
It's got a small brain
and refuses to learn

Bb F G
Their promotion's so lame
Bb F G
They could never ever take it
to the real ball game
F G
Listen I ain't a pet
F G
I aint a token hipster, in
your monopoly set G
You bet because

CHORUS, plus
Yeah the best kept secret
in the west The best kept
secret in the west
