The Charlatans - Weirdo

the name The Charlatans was used when original members of the band were located in the West Midlands, many sources state that they formed in Northwich, Cheshire. [1] This is because the band relocated to the home town of new lead singer Tim Burgess (who lived in Northwich) before the release of The Charlatans' debut single "Indian Rope" in 1990 on the band's own Dead Dead Good Records label. This means that, based on the definition of the hometown used by Guinness World Records, the band formed in Northwich and consequently Northwich is recorded as their home town in "Guinness World Records: British Hit Singles and Albums."

The debut single, "Indian Rope" proved an indie hit and the group soon found a major label, Beggars Banquet off-shoot Situation Two, in time for the release of "The Only One I Know" which reached the Top 10 in the UK singles chart.

A further single, "Then", and debut album Some Friendly, were released later that year, followed by the single "The Only One I Know" which led to great commercial and critical acclaim and is still regarded as an indie classic. Around this time The Charlatans were forced to add UK to their name for an American tour due to competing claims by a 1960s rock band also known as The Charlatans.

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

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

Look at your ugly shame
What are you talking for?
Look at your ugly shame
There's too much for me to know about

Most of the time you are happy
You're a weirdo
And your nerve is my device and it makes me sad

Look at your ugly shame
What are you talking for?
Look at your ugly shame
There's too much for me to know about
