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
He thinks his educated airs, those family shares
Will protect him, we'll 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 nosebleeds
He doesn't see his days are tumbling down upon him
And yet he tries so hard to please
He's just so keen for you to listen
But no-one's listening
And when you put it all together there's the model of a charmless man
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
He thinks his educated airs, those family shares
Will protect him, we'll 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

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 doesn't see his days are tumbling down upon him

He's just so keen for you to listen
But no-one's listening
And when you put it all together there's the model of a charmless man

The Sahf Lahndan accent gets right on my tits, though the instrumentals are ok. 5 from the Nottingham jury.
I know a couple of people that know their Claret from their Beaujolais
not bad
First and forgettable.
Interesting how Albarn went from this to Gorillaz. Who Knew?
