“drunked up country boy”?

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

have you heard the death cab version of the song? So fun. check it out on “you can play these songs with chords.” (thanks for confirming that this is a smith’s song, as i knew it was a cover…suspected the smith’s, but it’s good to KNOW.)

“…perhaps, darling ones, you could give me a story idea…”

No help from me, sorry. I never know what my stories are going to be about until I write them. In fact, I usually only have a title to work from. I’d let you in on some of the wonderful best-seller titles I’ve got in my head, but you’d have to fork over some royalties, and everyone knows that money ruins relationships.
