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 na-na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na

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

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 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

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
