Charmless Man - Blur

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
