Charlatans are amazing and Tim Burgess may be a superhero in the music world. I have many fave songs by Charlatans UK but this, Weirdo, is one that means the most to me. My dad's a bit of a wacko, but he loves all music too, and he used to say this song was about me. I was just entering the teen years and this was a cool song to play in the background of my daily life. I remember having it on tape and being excited to have it come out on CD so I could play this song to death. The Weirdo song itself is insane, music, lyrics, the sound of his voice... But then there's the video, the dancing the strange images and candid seeming band footage, it blows my mind.
Weirdo
most of the time you are happy you're
a weirdo and before the introduction
ends there is someone feeling sorry
for themselves

look at your ugly shame what are you
talking for look at your ugly shame
talking for look at your ugly shame
most of the time you are demanding
what am I doing here and I don't want to
be and the hurt in which you bare you
could say goodbye to this earth

there's too much for me to know about

weirdo and your nerve is my device and
makes me sad
