Charmless Man
|
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
|
He went....
|
|
He thinks his 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
|
|
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
|
|
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 his 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
|
