[Verse 1]
That Charlie Sedarka was a-playing the piano
Like he was pawing a dirty book
He bit a hole in his big bottom lip
And gave his very best little boy look
It was a song with a topical verse
Which I'm afraid he then proceeded to sing
Something about the moody doomed love
Of the Fish-Finger King

[Chorus]
You're nobody in this town
You're nobody in this crowd
You're nobody till everybody in this town
Thinks you're poison
Got your number, knows it must be avoided
You're nobody till everybody in this town
Thinks you're a bastard

[Verse 2]
Well Mr. Getgood moved up to Self-Made Man Row
Although he swears that he's the salt of the earth
He's so proud of the "kick-me-hard" sign
That they hung on his back at birth
He says "I appreciate beauty
If I have one, then it's my fault
Beauty is on my pillow, beauty is there in my vault"
[Chorus]
You're nobody in this town
You're nobody in this crowd
You're nobody till everybody in this town
Knows you're poison
Got your number, knows it must be avoided
You're nobody till everybody in this town
Thinks you're a bastard

[Verse 3]
The girl with the eternity rock
Went down on her bookie to buy some stock
Now all her signs in the shopping arcades
Say "The corporation thief is The New Jesse James"
Her clothes and her attention were scant
Her eyes were everywhere
Her eyes were like absinthe
The little green figures that dance on his screen
Say everything you want to hear
And not what they mean
They made love while she was changing her dress
She wiped him off, she wiped him out
And then she made him confess
A little amused by the belief in her power
You must remember this it was the fetish of the hour
[Chorus]
You're nobody in this town
You're nobody in this crowd
You're nobody till everybody in this town
Knows you're poison
Got your number, knows it must be avoided
You're nobody till everybody in this town
Thinks you're a bastard

[Outro]
You're nobody in this town
You're nobody in this town
You're nobody in this town
You're nobody in this town
You're nobody in this town
You're nobody in this town
You're nobody in this town
You're nobody in this town
