This Charming Man (The Smiths cover) Lyrics
On two bicycles
On a hillside desolate
Could nature make a man of me yet ?
Under this charming car
This charming man
Why ponder life's complexies
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 crucial
That someone so handsome should care
Ah! I'm just a country 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 crucial
That someone so handsome should care
La, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man
La, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man
Ah! I'm just a country 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
On a hillside desolate
Could nature make a man of me yet ?
This charming man
When the leather runs smooth
On the passenger seat ?
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said it's crucial
That someone so handsome should care
Who never knew his place
He said return the ring
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said it's crucial
That someone so handsome should care
La, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man
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

yeah... the lyrics here are way different than the original smiths lyrics... waaay different..
This is a Smiths cover. Ben kinda chops the song but it's a great either way...
if its a cover..why are the lyrics changed?
in the cover ben sings the a lot of the words wrong. (not that the original ones make much sense either). those are the lyrics he sings on 'chords'
in the cd booklet, deathcab explains that they feel like asses for getting the lyrics so wrong. i think they did it from memory instead of getting actual lyrics for it.
Shame to say, not a brilliant cover, I love death cab and their own songs are great... but you cant mess with such a classic, though its hard for any band to top the Smiths, just listen to "how soon is now" from sore point records.
the smiths version is so much better.
yea,it is.
I love the chorus in this song, though I agree, The Smiths original is much better.
they could have looked the lyrics up or something. they havent changed them on purpose there just wrong in places...tis like theyve covered up in a hurry. this cover is,unfortunately,crap,smiths 100 times better. rest of death cab is amazing though.
