No Confidence Man
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"No Confidence Man" was the name of a song recorded by Elliott Smith for a split with Pete Krebs on Slo-Mo Records in 1994. The songs lyrics most likely refer to Smith's stormy relationship during his childhood with step-father Charlie Welch.
[edit] Lyrics
Charlie got a band in his hand
A rubber loop
Says I’m the man you really want
So just act natural
Don’t try to tell me your bullshit scheme
‘Cause I have no idea what you mean
No idea
I’m just trying to sleep
I’ve heard quite enough
Just to listen is really tough
‘Cause you’re on it all the time
Hearing the bells, it’s 9am
You better wake up your friend before
He won’t wake up anymore
‘Cause I got to split, I’m late to leave
He gave me nothing but grief
And some bullshit story
Only I would believe
I’ve heard quite enough
I heard quite enough
You’re on it all the time
You’re on it all the time
You’re on it all the time
And you’re full of it all the time
