Charmless Man

Written by：Alex James/Damon Albarn/Dave Rowntree/Graham Coxon

I met him in a crowded room

Where people go to drink away their gloom

He sat me dawn 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 na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na

He thinks he's 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

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na

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 went na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na

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

He thinks he's 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

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na
