about

About a self-involved, womanizing prick. Not autobiographical.

lyrics

He’s a fast-talking Johnny, a Jack-of-all-trades
He’s a good-time Charlie whose future is made
Spending valuable party time
Handing out the same old lines
To giggling, middle-aged ladies

He’s a one-trick pony, a horse with no name
He’s a slippery eel who knows just who to blame
When circumstances start to close in
When the wicket gets sticky again
And those ladies they start to complain

I don’t know what you’re talking about
I don’t know what you’re talking about
I don’t know what you’re talking about
I don’t know what you mean
I don’t know what you mean at all

He’s an ego on wheels spinning stuck in the snow
And when he gets moving he’s soon out of control
Still, he shrugs off concern from his friends
Who shake their heads and pretend
That the party won’t come to an end

I don’t know what you’re talking about…

He’s a sorry sack of shit, a bag of old bones
He’s a dollar-store Romeo you can’t reach on the phone
‘Cause his wife she would object
And he’d lose all self-respect
The little he still has left

I don’t know what you’re talking about…

Blair Packham Toronto, Ontario

New album "The Impossible Dream" coming soon! Thirteen years after 2004’s “Could’ve Been King," Blair Packham returned with a collection of clever and heartfelt songs, called “Unpopular Pop.” A bit Beatle-y, with shades of Elvis Costello, Blair’s songs are undeniably all his. He made the record at home and then called on Ron Sexsmith and ex-Barenaked Ladies’ Steven Page to make vocal appearances. ... more
