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 a beaujolais

 I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray

 But then nature didn't make him that way

 

 He thinks his educated airs those family shares

 Will protect him, that you will 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

 Yet he tries so hard to please he's just so keen for you to listen

 But no-one is 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 will respect him

 Yet he tries so hard to please he's just so keen for you to listen

 But no-one is listening and when you put it all together

 There's the model of a charmless man
