Nobody knows that Iâm a fraud
[Intro]
[verse 1]
I donât watch PMQs as often as you might expect
I only live tweet question time for comedic effect
Iâve never read Virginia Woolf or any Bertolt Brecht
And nobody knows that Iâm a fraud
[verse 2]
Itâs often been alleged that Iâm as hard left as can be
But my idea of edgy is an unknown brand of tea
And Iâm not even veggie let alone dairy free
And nobody knows that Iâm a fraud
[chorus]
So I get up underneath the lights until I feel adored
And I never tell you anything I think you wonât applaud
Oh it might not always be the truth, but itâll have three chords
Nobody knows that Iâm a fraud
Nobody knows that Iâm a fraud
[verse 3]
Well dressing how I do I find I often get mistook
By graphic novel fans who judge me on the way I look
But I just like Batman shirts, I ve never read a comic book
Nobody knows that I m a fraud
[verse 4]
When people call me a musician that makes my palms perspire
I took Grade I piano, and I never got no higher
If I didn t have this capo then you d all see I m a liar
Nobody knows that I m a fraud
[chorus]
So I get up underneath the lights until I feel adored
And I never tell you anything I think you wonât applaud
Oh it might not always be the truth, but itâll have three chords
Nobody knows that Iâm a fraud
Nobody knows that Iâm a fraud
[bridge]
And some days I get so scared that we re losing
And some days I m just so sure we ll never win
And some days I get so knackered from refusing to let that in
To let that in
Woah Oh
[verse 5]
Well some days life feels like a play that you have not rehearsed
But one thing s true of all of us sharing this universe
Is we could all be doing better and we could all be doing worse
And everyone you know feels like a fraud
[chorus]
So come on and get up underneath the lights until you feel adored
And never tell them anything you think they wonât applaud
Oh it might not always be the truth, but itâll have three chords
Nobody knows that Iâm a fraud
Oh it might not always be the truth but it ll have three chords
And I guess I ll take up spoken word when I run out of chords
Because nobody knows that I m a fraud
