Charmless Man |
Ooo-ooo-wooo-ooo-ooh |
Ooo-ooo-ooh |
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 (that way) |
Na na na na naaaaaa na naaaa-ah |
Na na na na na na naaaaaa na naaaa-ah |
He thinks he’s educated, airs those family shares (Ooo-ooo-wooo-ooo-ooh) |
Will protect him, (Ooo-ooo-ooh) that we’ll respect him |
He moves in circles of friends |
Who just pretend (Ooo-ooo-wooo-ooo-ooh) that they like him (Ooo-ooo-ooh) |
He does the same to them |
And when you put it all together, there’s the model of a charmless man |
Na na na na naaaaaa na naaaa-ah |
Na na na na na na naaaaaa na naaaa-ah |
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 (away) |
Na na na na naaaaaa na naaaa-ah |
Na na na na na na naaaaaa na naaaa-ah |
He talks at speed, he gets nosebleeds |
He doesn’t see (Ooo-ooo-wooo-ooo-ooh) his days are tumbling |
Down upon him (Ooo-ooo-ooh) |
And yet he tries so hard to please |
He’s just so keen (Ooo-ooo-wooo-ooo-ooh) for you to listen (Ooo-ooo-ooh) |
But no one’s listening |
And when you put it all together, there’s the model of a charmless man |
He thinks he’s educated, airs those family shares (Ooo-ooo-wooo-ooo-ooh) |
Will protect him (Ooo-ooo-ooh), that you’ll respect him |
And yet he tries so hard to please |
He’s just so keen (Ooo-ooo-wooo-ooo-ooh) for you to listen (Ooo-ooo-ooh) |
But no one’s listening |
And when you put it all together, there’s the model of a charmless man |
Na na na na naaaaaa na naaaa-ah |
Na na na na na na naaaaaa na naaaa-ah |
Na na na na na na naaaaaa na naaaa-ah |
Na na na na na na naaaaaa na na na na na naaaaaa na na na na na naaaaaa na naah |
