Everything But The Girl - Charmless Callous Ways lyrics

rate me

Charmless callous ways

I have been in league with cruelty

And charmless callous ways

I have been betrayed into believing

That those who never win should never play

Nothing succeeds quite like success

And to be doomed to second best

I mistook for failure

Nothing more and nothing less

But if hate is peace and love is war

There's nothing there I feel's worth fighting for

And anything that's not my way

Anyway that's not my way

Disdain to be a grown-up fool

Who plays by adolescent rules

Where to be king is to be cruel

And constancy's an unprized jewel

Now I've abandoned all those crimes

And we'll endure without church bell chimes
