Tim Minchin
Fancy That
You say that you feel really small when you're around me
Fancy that; I always thought I acted totally pathetic
You say that my attitude is monstrous condescending
Don't you know that lately I've been feeling little too?
So you say my sense of humour is offensive and imposing
Fancy that, and I was only trying to get on what with your friends
So people misinterpret, find my sarcasm confusing
And all along I thought that I was totally see through

And mumma says I have a healthy understanding of my worth
Maybe I seem bigger since I put a little weight on 'round the girth
And people say that I always seem to stick out in a crowd
But so did JFK, and we all know what that means, don't we?

So you say people get blown away when they first meet me
Fancy that; I always work like hell just to be enough
You tell me my opinions are just too opinionated
Don't you know I often feel like I've got nothing much to say?

So you say my confidence could be percieved as disrespectful
Fancy that, and I was just avoiding being bored to death
You say that my songs can be a little bit affronting
Don't you know I always saw myself as totally pretentious
And mumma says I have a well-developed sense of what I've
Does she think my self esteem is a function of my purple lycra top
And people say that I always seem to stick out in a crowd
But so did the Elephant Man and we all know what he said don't we?
And people say that I always seem to stick out in a crowd
But so did Cassius Clay and we all know how he eats, don't we?
