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 beaujolas

I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kay

but then nature didn't make him that way

he thinks he's educated,

airs those family shares

will protect him that we 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 calvary

says he can get in everywhere 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 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
