D
I'm standing in another dole queue
A
With nom de plumes more than a few
Em
Name please, name please I heard her say
A                                           D
Who am I supposed to be today

D
I'm missing neuron's from the drink
A
But she won't give me time to think
Em
The Bobby will know I'm on the cod
A                                                            ­       D
Not knowing who I am will seem right odd

D
Name please name please I heard her say
A
Was that to me or in the next bay
Em
Get on with it Paddy, there's a line behind you
A                                                    D
I'm tinkin I'm tinkin ain't got a clue

D
Name please name please, she said it again
A
I know my real one it is Finn
Em
Should have wrote the duff one on my shoe
A                                                  D
You're holdin up the ****** queue

D
I can see me landin in the nick
A
If I take a chance and say I'm ****
Em
Name please name please in pompous writ
A                                                 D
I'm going to fake an epileptic fit

D
I'm Shakin Stevens on the ground
A
And I hear voices all around
Em
Does anyone know this poor man's name
A                                                         D
I prayed they did and the answer came

D
Name please name please just one last time
A
This was my London life of crime
Em
She said my Giro would be on its way
A                                                         D
But who would I be the following day

D
I'm Shakin Stevens on the ground
A
And I hear voices all around
Em
Does anyone know this poor man's name
A                                                         D
I prayed they did and the answer came

D
Name please name please just one last time
A
This was my London life of crime
Em
She said my Giro would be on its way
A                                                         D
But who would I be the following day

                 (Repeat Fading)
A                                                        ­  D
But who would I be the following day

A                                                          D­
But who would I be the following day.

This is 3 chords and the truth.
It actually happened to me in
London at Wyfold Road Fulhan Sw6
in the D.H.S.S office of Her Majesty QE 2.
