3.1. This Charming Man[편집]
This Charming Man
[Verse 1] 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 This man said, "It's gruesome that someone so handsome should care" [Chorus] Ah, 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 [Verse 2] 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" Naaa nana nana nana, this charming man Naaa nana nana nana, this charming man [Chorus] Ah, 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 He knows so much about these things

Jeane
[Verse 1] Jeane The low-life has lost its appeal And I'm tired of walking these streets To a room with its cupboard bare Jeane I'm not sure what happiness means But I look in your eyes And I know that it isn't there [Chorus 1] We tried, we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried [Verse 2] Jeane There's ice on the sink where we bathe So how can you call this a home When you know it's a grave But you still hope for ridding grace As you tidy the place But it will never be clean, Jeane [Chorus 1] We tried, we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried [Verse 3] Cash on the nail It's just a fairy tale And I don't believe in magic anymore, Jeane But I think you know I really think you know I think you know the truth Jeane [Verse 4] No heavenly choir Not for me and not for you Because I think that you know I really think you know I think you know the truth, Jeane [Chorus 2] That we tried and we failed That we tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed Oh Jeane
