Sensitive Outsider

B 
     In my wretched garret where I’ll die of starvation 
B 
To be buried in a pauper’s pit, watching The Late Show 
                                                                    Bb 
Legs crossed needlessly, reading the broadsheet from the front page first. 


 B 
Elitist preservatives decorate the table of a kitchen in Barnes 
 B 
Where my Mother hangs prints and thinks about me constantly 
                                             Bb 
And writes to me frequently: “Did I like the skull cap?” 


F                  Bb     F                  Bb 
I’m a sensitive outsider, I’m a sensitive outsider 
F                  Bb          A              Ab       F       Bb 
I’m a sensitive outsider and I want the whole world to know.

Said the lecturers of St. Martins:  “I will always have five farthings 
         B 
As long as my old man’s about scripting Whitehall farces” 
                                                  Bb 
Oh, I really hope Samantha from Athena calls with incense. 


B 
Faked my way through Glastonbury by acting all asexually 
B 
And then in the acoustic tent she stood there as if heaven sent 
                                                           Bb 
Well if that’s not Enya, that’s not Enya, that’s not Enya, that’s not Enya. 


F                  Bb     F                  Bb 
I’m a sensitive outsider, I’m a sensitive outsider 
F                  Bb          A              Ab       F 
I’m a sensitive outsider and I want the whole world to know. 


                   Bb 
I’m a sensitive outsider – Muses, Vega, 10,000 Maniacs 
F                  Bb 
I’m a sensitive outsider – Muses, Vega, 10,000 Maniacs 
F                  Bb 
I’m a sensitive outsider – Muses, Vega, 10,000 Maniacs 
      A              Ab       F 
And I want the whole world to know.
