I am a bastard

I am a bastard
But I'm so lovely
yeah I'm so lovely.

See me walking down the street
blinkers on my eyes
there might be other people out there
but I don't realise.
All I want's a warm coocoon
that I can crawl inside.
And why are you bothering me,
can't you see I'm busy?
I'd really like to help you out ..... but,
just not today.
I'd really like to help you out,
but for now just go away.
I've got to look at my reflection
in the window as I walk by,
make sure my hair's ok.
I am the cleverest guy you'll meet today,
so in my radiance just bathe.

=================================
When I was a teenager, I believed that I was a good person. I think I even thought this into my early twenties. A realisation that I've had in the past few years is that I am, at heart, not a good person. I guess that's part of being human - we're selfish, vain, and tend to tell ourselves that "I was definitely in the right."
A recording of this is available
