Album: Nightsongs (2001)

This Charming Man

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"

A jumped-up pantry boy who never knew his place
He said, "Return the ring"
He knows so much about
He knows so much about these things

And I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
Oh, yeah
This man said, "It's gruesome
That someone so handsome should care"
