BLUR - Charmless Man lyrics

rate me

I met him in a crowded room<br>Where people go to drink away their gloom<br>He sat me down and so began<br>The story of a charmless man<br><br>Educated the expensive way<br>He knows his claret from his beaujolais<br>I think he'd like to have been ronnie kray<br>But then nature didn't make him that way<br><br>He went....<br><br>He thinks his educated airs<br>Those family shares<br>Will protect him<br>That we'll respect him<br>He moves in circles of friends<br>Who just pretend<br>That they like him<br>He does the same to them<br>And when you put it all together<br>There's the model of a charmless man<br><br>He knows the swingers and their cavalry<br>Says he can get in anywhere for free<br>I began to go a little cross-eyed<br>And from this charmless man I just had to hide<br><br>He talks at speed<br>He gets nose bleeds<br>He doesn't see<br>His days are tumbling<br>Down upon him<br>And yet he tries so hard to please<br>He's just so keen<br>For you to listen<br>But no-one's listening<br>And when you put it all together<br>There's the model of a charmless man<br><br>He thinks his educated airs<br>Those family shares<br>Will protect him<br>That you'll respect him<br>And yet he tries so hard to please<br>He's just so keen<br>For you to listen<br>But no-one's listening<br>And when you put it all together<br>There's the model of a charmless man
