Lyrics
Charmless Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I met him in a crowded room
Where people go to drink away their gloom
He sat me down and so began
The story of a charmless man
Educated the expensive way
He knows his claret from his Beaujolais
I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray
But then nature didn't make him that way
Na na nana na, na na
Na na nana na, na na
He thinks he's educated airs
Those family shares
Will protect him
That we'll respect him
He moves in circles of friends
Who just pretend
That they like him
He does the same to them
And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
Na na nana na, na na
Na na nanana na na, na na
He knows the swingers and their cavalry
Says he can get in anywhere for free
I began to go a little cross-eyed
And from this charmless man I just had to hide
Na na nana na, na na
Na na nana na, na na
He talks at speed, he gets nose bleeds
He doesn't see
His days are tumbling
Down upon him
And yet he tries so hard to please
He's just so keen
For you to listen
But no one's listening
And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
He thinks he's educated airs
Those family shares
Will protect him
That you'll respect him
And yet he tries so hard to please
He's just so keen
For you to listen
But no one's listening
And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
Na na nana na, na na
Na na nana na, na na
Na na nana na, na na
Na na nana na, na na
Na nana na, na na
Na nana na, na na
Na nana na, na na na
