This song is not as whimsical as it may appear, as its about not feeling you fit in, even around your friends with whom you are supposed to. But it has a happy ending, so yay!

Of if anyone smarter than me can say if I am using "Opprobium" correctly, that would be welcome. I am just not sure if it is 'My' or 'His' in this context, so I took a wild guess. A word I know but have never used in public.

I went to Ivor Cutler’s party Everyone was dressed up for karate But Oh! I didn’t get the memo At Ivor Cutler’s karate party

Dans on show, all the ones you can have Blue and red and brown and black I sat in the corner, in my pants and vest Playing Shak Fu on the SNES

Ivor Cutler was not happy Showed his displeasure, playing my Opprobium on his harmonium I got shamed at Ivor Cutler’s party

Didn’t know he was into karate Suggested we all do karaoke instead He seemed quite happy with that Lets sing along at Ivor’s karaoke party
