Lyrics

In my heart, in my heart

You want some lovely, I got some lovely
I've got some lovely in my head, in my head
Where the lions wear the right tie,
where the gems roar, there be lovely

You want some lovely, I got some lovely
In my bed, in my bed
Where the ocean wears the shore down
Where's the on switch?
There be lovely laying waiting naked for you

(Chorus)
We can play every day
We can play at being lovers
We can play every day
We can play on my brown guitar

(Repeat Chorus)

You want some lovely, I got some lovely
In my yard, in my yard
There be inchworm, there be football
There be yardstick stir some lovely
Laying waiting naked for you

You want some lovely, I got some lovely
In my field, in my field
There be green grass, there be pink sky
There be blue birds come and nest there

(Chorus X 2)

You want some lovely, I got some lovely
In my heart, in my heart for you

SOME LOVELY (MY BROWN GUITAR)
Andy Partridge

D              F
In my heart... in my heart...

A                     Amaj7 (4X222X)
You want some lovely, I got some lovely

D             G
In my head... In my head
Where the lions wear the right tie, where the gems roar

         G#7
There be lovely...

A                     Amaj7
You want some lovely, I got some lovely

D            G
In my bed... in my bed
Where the ocean wears the shore down, where's the on-switch?

         G#7     G#
There be lovely (laying waiting naked for you)

(Chorus:)

C#        F#         C#          F#            C#
...We can play every day, we can play at being lovers
       F#         C#
We can play every day
                           Bm-B (1 meas.) G# (1 meas.)
We can play on my brown guitar...

C#        F#         C#          F#            C#
...We can play every day, we can play at being lovers
       F#         C#
We can play every day
                           Bm-B (1 meas.) E (1 meas.)
We can play on my brown guitar

You want some lovely, I got some lovely
In my yard... in my yard
There be inchworms, there be footlong, there be yardsticks
Stir some lovely (laying waiting naked for you)

You want some lovely, I got some lovely (you got some, I got some etc.)
In my field... in my field
There be green grass, there be big sky, there be bluebirds
Come and nest there

(Chorus)

A                     Ab?
You want some lovely, I got some lovely

D              F
In my heart... in my heart...

F
for you...
