Lyrics

This Charming Man

[Verse 1]

Punctured bicycle on a hillside desolate

Will nature make a man of me yet?

When in this charming car, this charming man

Why pamper life's complexities

When the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat?

I would go out tonight but I haven't got a stitch to wear

This man said, "It's gruesome that someone so handsome should care"

[Chorus]

Ah, a jumped-up pantry boy

Who never knew his place

He said, "Return the ring"

He knows so much about these things

He knows so much about these things

[Verse 2]

I would go out tonight but I haven't got a stitch to wear

This man said, "It's gruesome that someone so handsome should care"

[Bridge]

Naaa, na-na, na-na, na-na

This charming man

Naaa, na-na, na-na, na-na

This charming man

[Chorus]

Ah, a jumped-up pantry boy

Who never knew his place

He said, "Return the ring"

He knows so much about these things

He knows so much about these things

He knows so much about these things
