It’s a clever metaphor, but really it’s a commentary on how most people are wrapped up in guilt/emotion and just want to impress you out of selfish greed. Charmless.
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 a beaujolais I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray But then nature didn't make him that way He thinks his educated airs those family shares Will protect him, that you 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 cavalry 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 speed he gets nose bleeds He doesn't see his days are tumbling down upon him 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 He thinks his educated airs, those family shares Will protect him, that you will respect him 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
Friends, please, explain the meaning of this phrases to me: "he sat me down", "he knows his claret", "he knows the swingers ans their cavalry" , "His days are tumbling down upon him"
"he sat me down" - he sat down and had a conversation with me "he knows his claret from his Beaujolais" - he is probably posh and knows the differences between different types of wines "he knows the swingers and their cavalry" he knows a lot of people "he doesn't see his days are tumbling down upon him" - he can't tell nobody really likes him hope this helps even after a year :)
i met him in, i met him in, i met, i met, i met him in a bathroom where people go to pee. where people go to drink their pee. where people go to the bathroom. the story of a crack addict.

He talks at speed, gets nosebleeds. I reckon those two things might be connected, you know.....

I'm sure Damon knows his cocaine from methamphetamine.
kinda of guilty pleasure but this is one of my fav songs of blur
Why guilty pleasure? Do you think this is a bad song?
If you feel this is guilty you don't deserve to listen this song
@@HeathenAmorphous dude it's their opinion, calm down
It's not guilty, the song is real good
“He’s just so keen for you to listen but no one’s listening” that sums me up pretty well
this describes perfectly my classmates
They're rich and no-one likes them?
think they'd like to be ronnie kray? that line fits mine perfectly the rest of the song is miles of
So you met them in a bar?
0:48 ehm no one has mentioned it here yet..but "Ronnie Kray" maan :--)
Someone 2020?
Ronnie Kray was a gangster in London during the 60s.
London Gangster in 60's, with Tom Hardy as him in "LEGEND" movie
_I feel identified by "He Moves in circles of friends/Who just pretend/That they like him/He does the same to them" ://_
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 a beaujolais
I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray
But then nature didn't make him that way
He thinks his educated airs those family shares
Will protect him, that you 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 cavalry
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 speed he gets nose bleeds
He doesn't see his days are tumbling down upon him
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
He thinks his educated airs, those family shares
Will protect him, that you will respect him
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
Yeah dude, I think the lyrics are on the video..
Just in case it was too far down for some.. Just being my usual helpful tit .
BWFSabian The nanananana is missing 🌊
Dude, this is a lyric video... Last I checked, at least
Its a lyric video
i always thought it went, 'and when you put it all together, there's a motherlovin' charmless man' idk
I always thought it was 'mother of a charmless man'.
+Jay Dog yh same
i always thought it was the motto of a charmless man
oh ma gad SAME
...Mister President? Is that you?
talking to yourself...nice one mate
Every time I see Michael Gove this tune plays in my head 😂😂😂
This song sums up a "friend" of mine so perfectly.
Thanks cs188
A charming Man by the smiths when Charmless Man by Blur walks in :
Friends, please, explain the meaning of this phrases to me: "he sat me down", "he knows his claret", "he knows the swingers ans their cavalry" , "His days are tumbling down upon him"
"he sat me down" - he sat down and had a conversation with me
"he knows his claret from his Beaujolais" - he is probably posh and knows the differences between different types of wines
"he knows the swingers and their cavalry" he knows a lot of people
"he doesn't see his days are tumbling down upon him" - he can't tell nobody really likes him
hope this helps even after a year :)
That's a tasty riff
This is literally the description of half my town
It's family heirs!!!!
early arctic monkeys was inspired by blur fosho’ this could easily pass as a wpsiatwin/favourite worst nightmare song
They were more inspired by the strokes but yeah
my anthem :v
This describes my late mother quite well
Dammit, I made that post when I was mad at you XD
You still alive?
