3) The English Band
The jazz-inflected, London-based group Charlie was as well-known for the sexy babes on their album covers as they were for their close, smooth harmonies and slick, catchy singles like ´Turning´ and ´Watching TV.´ The band´s core lineup consisted of vocalist/guitarist Terry Thomas (who had also been in a band with Free and Bad Company´s Simon Kirke), bassist/vocalist John Anderson (formerly of Axe) and drummer Steve Gadd (not to be confused with the american session-drummer), and a wide array of supporting players, including keyboardist Julian Colbeck, guitarist Martin Smith, auxiliary drummer Shep Lonsdale and former Argent members Bob Henrit and John Verity. Their radio-friendly sound debuted in 1976 with ´Fantasy Girls´ and the group managed a steady stream of moderate FM hits in the US and the UK, including 1978´s ´Killer Cut´ and ´She Loves To Be In Love.´ However, Charlie´s biggest success came with the 1983 hit ´It's Inevitable,´ which recieved considerable airplay from MTV and was featured on their self-titled 7th album. Despite the added prominence this single and tours with the Doobie Brothers, Styx, Bachman-Turner Overdrive and the Kinks brought them, the group remained primarily a cult favorite for their nearly decade-long career. Charlie´s swan song came in 1984 with ´In Pursuit Of Romance´, which featured Thomas as the only original member. Four of their albums -- ´Fight Dirty´, ´Good Morning America´, ´Here Comes Trouble´ and ´No Second Chance´ -- were re-released as CD two-fer packages from Renaissance Records in the late 90´s; the label also released ´Best Of Charlie´ in early 2000.
In 2009 the band released a new album named Kitchens of Distinction

Heartless
Charlie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lady has bedroom eyes, one look says it all
So it really was no surprise when he made that first call
They dined in style at the Dome, then made their way back home, alone
Where he made no big demands, oh what a gentleman he was
He brought her to meet the boys, she clung to his arm
At first so demure and coy, but then she switched on that charme
She said "C'est la vie, my dear, maybe sometime next year." Then off she went.
Heartless - your blood runs colder than ice, you're not nice
Heartless - your blood runs colder than ice, you're not nice
The poor boy had lost his head, so he called her next day
I don't know just what she said, but he left rightaway
He drove straight round to her place, but she slammed the door in his face, bad taste
He still wouldn't face the facts, she had a real good act, some showcase
Heartless - your blood runs colder than ice, you're not nice
Heartless - your blood runs colder than ice, you're not nice
One of these days you will feel that you need some real friends
You'll find no-one left who will trust in you
You'll know what it is to be on your own then
So think very hard 'bout these things you do
Heartless - your blood runs colder than ice, you're not nice
Heartless - your blood runs colder than ice, you're not nice
He bought her all kinds of things, he sent flowers to her home
He called her six times a day, but she put down the phone
At night he sat and just moped, no he wouldn't give up on his hopes, some hopes
She couldn't give a damn, she'd got another man, it's one big joke
Heartless - your blood runs colder than ice, you're not nice
Heartless - your blood runs colder than ice, you're not nice
"Heartless" is a song that tells a story about a man who falls for a woman who turns out to be heartless. The opening line suggests that the woman has "bedroom eyes" which already hints at her intentions. The man is taken by her charm and invites her out on a date. They go to the Dome and then back to his place where he's a perfect gentleman. He even introduces her to his friends who she clings onto. However, it's not long before she reveals her true nature, switching on her charm to someone else and leaving the man behind. The chorus repeats the line "Heartless - your blood runs colder than ice, you're not nice" which beautifully sums up her character.
The man is left infatuated and calls her repeatedly, buy her gifts, and sends flowers but all to no avail. She doesn't answer the phone or the door when he comes to visit. The song ends on a note of warning, the woman will realize one day that she needs true friends but won't find any because of the way she treats people. The singer is still hopeful, but the chorus reminds us that the woman is most definitely heartless.
