This Charming Man
Punctured bicycle
on a hillside desolate
will Nature make a man of me yet?
then 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 these things)

William, It Was Really Nothing
The rain falls hard on a humdrum town
This town has dragged you down
Oh, the rain falls hard on a humdrum town
This town has dragged you down
And everybody’s got to live their life
And God knows I’ve got to live mine
God knows I’ve got to live mine
William, William it was really nothing
William, William it was really nothing
How can you stay with a fat girl who’ll say:
"Would you like to marry me
and if you like you can buy the ring"
she doesn’t care about anything
would you like to marry me
and if you like you can buy the ring
I don’ dream about anyone
William, William it was really nothing
William, William.
What Difference Does It Make?
All men have secrets and here is mine so let it be known
We have been through hell and high tide
I think I can rely on you
And yet you start to recoil
Heavy words are so lightly thrown
But still I’d leap in front of a flying bullet for you
So what difference does it make?
So what difference does it make?
It makes none, but you have gone
and you must be looking very old tonight
The devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole and I lied, and why? Because you asked me to
But now you made me to feel so ashamed
Because I’ve only got two hands
Well, I’m still fond of you
So what difference does it make?
So what difference does it make?
It makes none, but you have gone
And your prejudices won’t keep you warm tonight
Oh the devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole and I lied just because you asked me to
But now you know the truth about me
You won’t see me anymore
Well, I’m still fond of you
But no more apologies
No more, no more apologies
I’m too tired, I’m so sick and tired
And I’m feeling very sick and ill today
But I’m still fond of you
Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before
Stop me, stop
Stop me if you think that you’ve
Heard this one before
Stop me, stop me
Stop me if you think that you’ve
Heard this one before
Nothing’s changed
I still love you, oh I still love you
… only slightly less than I use to
I was delayed, I was way-laid
An emergency stop
I smelt the last ten seconds of life
I crashed down on the crossbar
And the pain was enough to make
A shy, bald buddhist reflect
And plan a mass-murder
Who said I’d lied to her?
Who said I’d lied because I never
Who said I’d lied because I never
I was detained, I was restrained
He broke my spleen
He broke my knees
(and then he really laid into me)
Friday night in Out-patients
Who said I’d lied to her?
Who said I’d lied - because I never
Who said I’d lied - because I never
Oh, so I drank one
Or was it four
And when I fell on the floor…
… I drank more
Stop me, stop me
Stop me if you think that you’ve
Heard this one before
Nothing’s changed
I still love you
I still love you
But only slightly
less than I use to
