She said
I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it is to be sad
And she's making me feel like I've never been born

I said
Who put all those things in your hair
Things that make me feel like I'm sad
And you're making me feel like I've never been born

She said you don't understand what I said
I said no no no, you're wrong, when I was a boy
Everything was right
Everything was right

I said
Even though you know what you know
I know that I'm ready to leave
'Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born

She said you don't understand what I said
I said no no no, you're wrong, when I was a boy
Everything was right
Everything was right

I said
Even though you know what you know
I know that I'm ready to leave
'Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born

She said
She said, I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it is to be sad
I know what it is to be sad
She said, I know what it's like to be dead

Formed in 1978, The Chords were big players in the British “New Mod” scene of the turn of the decade. While never as popular as their contemporaries The Jam, The Chords were nevertheless one of the better bands on the scene, with their second single, “Maybe Tomorrow,” cracking the UK Top 40 in 1980. After a promising debut album (SO FAR AWAY) got into the UK Top 30, the band nevertheless called it a day in September 1981.
