A 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"
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"
Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, this charming man ...
Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, this charming man ...
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 ...
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

Review about THIS CHARMING MAN not so charmed man | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/19/09
i never actually cared to look for an actual interpretation of the lyrics. but it seems to me that the 'charming man' appears patronising. it seems like there is a difference in class between the two. from experience the upper classes have been known to be a little condescending in this situation. whatever interpretation you have, it works may it be positive for your husband or negative for somebody else.
Irony. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/5/09
Not writing any sort of analysis to the song in question ...
I'm just amused because this song makes me think of one person only. Someone with whom I passionately connected over the course of 8 days, someone I will probably never see again ... at least for many years.
It's just ironic because his name is Keith, a name that another reviewer mentioned, ha. I guess we all have our charming men ...
one of the best songs ever | Reviewer: danko | 9/19/07
another spectacular performance by Morrisey, words are too washed out to describe the quality!
This song is insane!! I was on a hillside, flat tire in hand, and a charming man indeed saved me. Morrissey- I feel you! After that, I'm lost in a world of wonderous emotion. I write this with the only other person who can understand me. Keith. Are there others out there like us who feel what we feel?

A song about homoeroticism reminds you of your husband?
