"Coffee Homeground"
By Kate Bush
From 1978's "Lionheart"


Intro: Cb A Gb Gbmaj7


Bbm Gb
Down in the cellar

Ebm F F
You're getting into making poison.

Ab Db Gb
You slipped some on the side,

Bbm A
Into my glass of wine,

Gb A F Bbm
And I don't want any coffee--homeground.

Gb
Offer me a chocolate,

Ebm F Bbm
No thanks you spoil my diet, know your game!

Ab Db
Tell me just how come

Gb Bbm A
They smell of bitter almonds?

Gb Ab F Bbm
It's a no-no to your coffee homeground.

(Refrain)

A B
Pictures of Crippin

Bdim B
Lipstick-smeared.

A B
Torn wallpaper.

Bdim B G# Bb
Have the walls got ears here?

Ebm Fm7 Gb Db
You won't get me with your belladonna--in the coffee,

Ebm Fm7 Gb Db Cb
And you won't get me with your arsenic--in the pot of tea,

Ebm Fm7 Gb Db
And you won't get me in a hole to rot--with your hemlock

Abm Eb
On the rocks.

(Repeat verse and refrain)

Where are the plumbers
Who went a-missing here on Monday?
There was a tall man
With his companion,
And I bet you gave them coffee--homeground.

Maybe you're lonely,
And only want a little company,
But keep your recipes
For the rats to eat,
And may they rest in peace with coffee homeground.

Well, you won't get me with your Belladonna--in the coffee,
And you won't get me with your arsenic--in the pot of tea,
And you won't put me in a six-foot plot--with your hemlock
On the rocks.


(Refrain)


You won't get me with your Belladonna--in the coffee,
And you won't get me with your arsenic--in the pot of tea,
And you won't get me in a hole to rot--with your hemlock
On the rocks.

With your hemlock on the rocks.
"Noch ein Glas, mein Liebchen?"
With your hemlock on the rocks.
"Es schmeckt wunderbahr!"*
With your hemlock on the rocks.
"Und ???"
