This Charming Man — The Smiths

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 complexity 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

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

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 La, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man ... Oh, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man ...

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

New York version adds :

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

I would go out tonight But I haven't got a stitch to wear Oh, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man ... Oh, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man ...

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
