Where's My Ivor Novello?

As much as I would like

To I'll never set the world alight

My legacy is an unheard scream

Into a digital void

Late night vagrant

Best to look away

For your own sake

Who wants to pay

For a digital download

& it's hard to even

Get an FM foothold

Perhaps my songs

Are too throwaway

Even for a throwaway world

Where's my Ivor Novello?

In my mind I'm Scott Walker

And my weird doom gives you a lift

In my mind I'm Lee Hazlewood

It comes out all wrong

But you get my drift

No idea what I'm doing

But I don't let it stop me

I'll leave a sizeable

Back catalogue

But I'll leave no money

Where's my Ivor Novello?

Maybe when I'm dead

My kids will be impressed

But for now I'm not weird

Enough for the weirdos

& not straight

Enough for the rest

Am I boring

Who cares

I'm not even at my best

But I keep on

So where's my Ivor Novello

I said, where's my Ivor Novello
