Charmless Man Lyrics - The Great Escape - Blur

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 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 na na na na 

He knows the swingers and their cabaret 

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 

Na na na na 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
