Lyrics of a song Graham Parker - Platinum blonde

Intro - Country picking  oohs   G   Em   C   D



G                          Em                 C                       Am7 G     

Stuff comes down from the golden triangle on ferries from Denmark to helsingborg

      G                         Em             C                Am7 G     

The band strikes up but they're out of time on synthesiser and washboard

Em             D                   C                  D

wooden tulips grow by the roadside made in a factory in jonjoping

Em                  D                  C                        D

fake glass baubles hang in the station just like the passenger's imitation

Am                         Em           C                       Em

then it hits you she was just the dregs all you wanna do now is break her legs

Am                         Em   D

kick that brunette into a pond replace her with a



CHORUS

D         C         G        C     G        C       G        C

platinum blonde, platinum blonde, platinum blonde, platinum blonde



There's a secret world that you cannot enter it's in the center of the darkest night

she's waiting there with a set of works a Swedish passport and something white

she walks past but you can't form a whistleeven her lips look artificial 

you wanna follow her but you can't swallow her act it seems so superficial 

now you've shed the old one like a worn out shoe

It was all your fault but you blame her too 

you know its phoney but at least it's new and it comes from a bottle like



chorus repeat  last part of Intro repeat with solo



And in your heart there's a new addiction another friction that you can't resolve

she seemed alive but she is just a cipher an imaginary postcard that just dissolved

endless sunsets glow in the distance painted by picasso's assistants

Perfect people travel in volvos into the sunsets into the distance

you're just a passenger she's not a ticket a foreign stamp you've got to lick it

put it in the mail box put it in the failbox

you never seem to learn from the school of hard knocks

then she walks past and laughs at the pond

you can't break a heart that doesn't respond, like
