== Lyrics ==
 
<poem>
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
File: | Cover art. (198)
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
He knows so much about these things


</gallery>
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"
