   [Lyrics]
    
   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 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?.

   [Lyrics]
    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.
