Everything But The Girl - Charmless Callous Ways lyrics

Charmless callous ways I have been in league with cruelty And charmless callous ways I have been betrayed into believing That those who never win should never play Nothing succeeds quite like success And to be doomed to second best I mistook for failure Nothing more and nothing less But if hate is peace and love is war There's nothing there I feel's worth fighting for And anything that's not my way Anyway that's not my way Disdain to be a grown-up fool Who plays by adolescent rules Where to be king is to be cruel And constancy's an unprized j**el Now I've abandoned all those crimes And we'll endure without church bell chimes
