Blur - Charmless Man lyrics

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
