G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD


   G+G         E minorEm     C majorC       D MajorD
Well, here's a song I've written specifically for you

  G+G       E minorEm      C majorC         D MajorD
Who sit inside the audience and talk through all I do

  G+G     E minorEm         C majorC        D MajorD
I cannot understand it cause I'm pretty good, you see

     G+G         E minorEm           C majorC         G+G
So there must be something wrong with you, there's nothing wrong with me

Chorus:

You're a bloody rotten audience whilst I am very good

  G+G          E minorEm        C majorC        D MajorD
If brains were made of oak and ash then you'd have balsa wood

   G+G      E minorEm       C majorC        D MajorD
I'm ethnic and authentic and I'm really full of class

While you're ignorant, you're cultureless, you're philistines en masse

   G+G         E minorEm       C majorC       D MajorD
I'm a folkie and that's obvious, you can tell it by me clothes

  G+G        E minorEm     C majorC         D MajorD
And when I sing traditional, I sing it through me nose

    G+G       E minorEm     C majorC       D MajorD
And if you insist on talking everytime I sing a song

   G+G         E minorEm         C majorC       G+G
I'll fix you with 'Bold Robin Hood', that's eighty verses long

Verse 3:

  G+G       E minorEm      C majorC         D MajorD
And when I sing contemporary, me heart and soul is pure

 G+G       E minorEm         C majorC       D MajorD
I must be bloody brilliant, cause me writing's so obscure

My hero's Leonard Cohen, I dig him perfectly

But I must be so much better, because no-one here digs me

Couldn't possibly be wasting yours, so you must be wasting mine

  G+G        E minorEm        C majorC        D MajorD
And let me tell you now that I'm not out here for me health

   G+G         E minorEm         C majorC       G+G
So if you don't come and pull with me, I'll go and pull meself
