I'd like a publishing contract

And I'd like a friend who will dance
           G
I'd like a bloke and a job with some hope
      D                    A7
And a record deal with an advance

At last, I could use my degree

I'd like a mate who could play fretless bass
        D                       A7
And the world's most persuasive CV

Oh, and I'd love to be Martin Carthy
       G              D
In the pay of the old BBC
          D                A
It's the only folk music allowed

Apparently

I'd like an alto to sing with

And the courage to learn how to drive

I'd like to own a near functioning phone
D                               A7
And to live in a town with some life

D
I'd like that short story accepted
         G                      D
And some airplay for one of my songs
G
I'd like to know where on earth I should go
     D                       A7
And above all what I'm doing wrong

Chorus:
D                   Bm
And I'd love to be Eliza Carthy
        G             D
In some Radio 2 treasury

Now there's only one name that's allowed

And to live my life happy and free

It's the only folk music allowed
G         Gm  D
Apparently
