EVERYTHING GOES Lyrics - Graham Parker

Intro:  D      then briefly G A  (4 times)

 

D                        G          A 

Another schoolgirl disappears           

D                                G          A 

She's the twenty-third one this year

D                                  G          A 

They're gonna search on the river bank 

D                         G          A 

And in the disused water tank

 

 CHORUS

(A)             D                  A

But everything goes (Don't worry) don't worry baby

 G

Everything'll work out fine

 

(A)              D                  A

But everything goes (Don't worry) daddy's got a job

G

Waiting on the welfare line

 

Another train hits another train Causing grief, suffering and pain

They're gonna find it's a signal fault The survivors are still distraught

 

 CHORUS

But everything goes (Don't worry) don't worry baby

Everything'll work out fine 

(A)              D                A

But everything goes (Don't worry)  daddy's on drugs

G

Mummy's on the welfare line

 

Em                    C                        G

And the schoolgirl's books  Are found in the lane

                          A                     

Not far from where she lived 

Em             C                G                              A

And a man is held in a foreign jail  We don't want to let him live

 

 CHORUS

But everything goes (Don't worry) don't worry baby

Everything'll work out fine 

But everything goes (Don't worry) daddy's on drugs

Mummy's on the welfare line (Instrumental chorus)
