Standard (EADGBE)

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's like to of been Ronnie Kray

 But then nature didn't make him that way

 He thinks he's educated, airs those family shares

Will protect him that we will 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

 He knows the swingers and their calvarly

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 talks at speeds 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 is listening

And when you put it all together

There's the model of a charmless man
