Blur - Charmless Man

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 went....

He thinks his educated airs
Those family shares
Will protect him
That 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 nose bleeds
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
He thinks his educated airs
Those family shares
Will protect him
That you`ll respect 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
