[Verse 1]
D#5 G#5 F#5
She took me in and fed me kindly
B5 C#5
But who is this tramp sat in front of me?
D#5 G#5 F#5
She smiled and said, "Jilly I be!"
B5 C#5
Then she shouted her name into the street
D#5 G#5 D#5 G#5
I told her I was missing but she said, "Where have you been?
D#5 G#5 D#5 G#5
How can you lose a place, my friend, if it was never real?"
D#5 G#5 F#5
I said I feel like I have fallen asleep
B5 C#5
Like this is all just a part of a wicked dream
D#5 G#5 F#5
When I wake up, you'll see what I mean
B5 C#5
I'm not meant to be stuck in this poverty
D#5 G#5 D#5 G#5
She said, "I can see infinity glint in every gleam
D#5 G#5 D#5 G#5
You see the light as would a bug who can't pass through a screen!"
[Chorus]
G#5 D#5
Raise your voice, Joyce
G#5 D#5
Raise your voice, Joyce
G#5 C#5
Raise your voice, Joyce
C#5 G#5

G#5 D#5
She paid her way
G#5 D#5
She's not a slave

[Verse 2]
D#5 G#5 F#5
I still think I'd like to leave
B5 C#5
I'm soiled and my colleagues are waiting for me
D#5 G#5 F#5
If I beg, they'll let me back in
B5 C#5
Now would you kindly let me out of this bin?
D#5 G#5 D#5 G#5
She said, "Take you opportunities and shove them up your ear
D#5 G#5 D#5 G#5
Listen to the thunder, boy, it calls for you to hear!"
D#5 G#5 F#5
Then, moldered in my suit and tie,
B5 C#5
in the filth when I started to cry
D#5 G#5 F#5
She knocked the glasses right off of my eyes
B5 C#5
She is the stain that will never come dry!
C#5 D#5 G#5
She said, "Scream at me, oh, stirring child
D#5 G#5 D#5 G#5
Scream your little scream; in the morning world
D#5 G#5
You are the only you who's ever been
D#5 G#5 D#5 G#5
There is another history behind the one you've seen
D#5 G#5 D#5 G#5
So weep until there's nothing left to weep and then be free!"
[Chorus]
G#5 D#5
Raise your voice, Joyce
G#5 D#5
Raise your voice, Joyce
G#5 C#5
Raise your voice, Joyce
C#5 G#5
Raise your voice, Joyce
G#5 D#5
She paid her way
G#5 D#5
She's not a slave
G#5 C#5
Joyce Tops
C#5 G#5
I'm okay
G#5 D#5
