Charmless Man Lyrics

Cover art for Charmless Man lyrics by Blur

The original liner notes (which are not infallible) got this line wrong: "He thinks he's educated, airs those family shares Will protect him"

For a variety of reasons that makes no sense (how does one "air shares"?). A simple fix straightens it out:

"He thinks his educated airs, those family shares Will protect him"

He, incorrectly, thinks that his educated airs and those family shares will protect him. He's deluded.
