She was so jealous of her sister
Sebillah looked into the wardrobe Priscilla looked into the frying pan And the bacon and eggs and the breakfast was served She was so jealous of her sister And her way of life and her luxury flat She was so jealous of her sister
BRIDGE: Bb D She'd throw away her dirty dishes just to be free again Bb F A Her women's weekly magazines just to be free again C Bb And put the children in the nursery just to be free again
Priscilla saw her little children And then decided she was better off Than the wayward lass that her sister had been No longer jealous of her sister So she ran 'round the house with her curlers on No longer jealous of her sister

Education Tomn: C Intro:Bb F C Gm *2 C F C F

In a deep dark jungle long time ago

Chewing meat from bones.
C F
He didn't know how to talk much
C F
He only knew how to groan
Bb F
Then he lifted up his hands and reached to the sky
C Gm
Let out a yell and no one replied.
Bb F
Frustration and torment tore him inside
C Gm C Gm
Then he fell to the ground and he cried and he cried.

But then education saved the day.

He learned to think and to work with his brain

Trying to feed me knowledge
A C
That I know I'll never use.

First Time We Fall In Love Tom: F Intro:C D C A Bb C(Single note)
F Dm Bb C
How well I remember my very first love affair.
F Dm Bb C
Those juvenile fantasies and innocent dreams we shared.
Gm Gm7 F Dm
But we're too blind to realize that we are totally unprepared
Bb C F
For the first time we fall in love.
F Dm Bb C
We think it's forever, the first time we fall in love.
F Dm Bb C
We always treasure the first time we fall in love.
Gm Gm7
Those other romances come and go,
F Dm
But we cherish the memory of
Bb C F
The first time we fall in love.
C D C A Bb C
F Dm
First love can be such a strain.
Gm Em
It can rule your head, it can bring you pain,
F Dm
And when it ends it seems such a shame.
Bb C F
The first time we fall in love,
Dm Gm
Can make you sad, it can keep you awake,
Em
It can drive you mad.
F Dm
People say you're too young and it's only a fad
Bb C F Am
The first time we fall in love.
Bb C F F Em
The first time we fall in love.
Dm Bb Bb C
The first time I fell out of love, it knocked me through the floor.
Dm Bb Bb Am
My world came crashing down, it shook me to the core.
Gm
I was unprepared 'cos I was only a kid
F Am
And I was much too young and I wasn't equipped
Dm Bb Dm C C C C
For the emotional pressures and stresses of it.
F Dm
But oh, I'll never forget
Gm Em
The way that she looked the first time we met.
F Dm
Time goes by but we never forget
Bb C F
The first time we fall in love.
Dm Bb Bb C
Love can be exciting, it can be a bloody bore.
Dm Bb Bb Am
Love can be a pleasure or nothing but a chore.
Gm
Love can be like a dull routine,
F Am
It can run you around till you're out of steam.
Dm Bb Dm C C C C
It can treat you well, it can treat you mean,
F Dm
Love can mess you around,
Gm Em
I can pick you up, it can bring you down.
F Dm
But they'll never know The feelings we show
Bb C F Am
The first time we fall in love.
Bb C F
The first time we fall in love.
