Sensitive Outsider

Half Man Half Biscuit


Tom: C#m

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.


         B
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

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.
