lyrics

I like writing poetry
I keep it under wrap
If I put it on display
You’d rightly call it crap

The seldom praised are praised indeed
I dish out plaudits by the stack
Applaud half-written, nowhere tunes
But never cut myself the slack

But today I did it right
Tapped into some lost goldmine
I specialise in messing up
Flattery’s no friend of mine
Friend of mine, friend of mine

I like singing to myself
The tunes from in my head
If someone comes in the room
I cut myself off dead

I listen and give two stars and a wish
I wish that we could all be stars
But crushing doubt will cripple me
Drown my voice in loud guitars

But today I did it right
Tapped into some lost goldmine
I specialise in messing up
Flattery’s no friend of mine
But today I did it right
Feel the shivers down my spine
Finish this day on an up
Award myself a seldom nine
Seldom nine. Seldom nine
