About

The Knack (not to be confused with the band of the same name) is the sixth song on Cool For Cats and is the first track in the album to feature Chris Difford solely on lead vocals (with Glenn providing backups during the choruses).

The song’s lyrics evoke images of mobster movies.

The Knack Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Standing by the key rack
Hat over his eyes
Smokes drifts slowly from him
Looking kind and wise
Seen him in the papers
Murdered by Malone
Heard the bar maid whisper
Something about the phone

[Pre-Chorus]
Watch out on the corner
Standing by the rack
Little Gringo told her
Shot him in the back

[Chorus]
Now I'm shaking
Yes I'm shaking
Now I'm shaking
Cos I ain't got the knack

Carlos see most cargo
Hands against the wheel
Flowers for Ol' Banyan
Whiskey's up to deal
Slowly in the warehouse
Bowling alley too
Look behind the jury
Scatter point at you

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Round and round the city
Taxes all fall down
Shot at in a Citroen
East side of the town
Waffle in a Winnie's
Tied between the bars
Fifty fifty chances
Bulletproofed all cars

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]
