Lloyd Cole (born in Buxton on 31 January 1961) is an English-born singer and songwriter, known for his role as lead singer of Lloyd Cole and the Commotions from 1984 to 1989 and for his subsequent solo work.
Born in Buxton, Derbyshire, Cole grew up in nearby Chapel en le Frith and went to New Mills Grammar School. After failing in law at University College London, he later attended (but did not graduate from) the University of Glasgow where he studied philosophy and English and met the other members of band that would become The Commotions.

You'll have to listen to the album to play along to get it right for awhile. Its kind of hard to sing and play at the same time. Words are from memory so they might not be exact.

(Fig. 1 once for each line) Well she did understand him so she guessed he was deep She had never been to college and was to dumb to be So he lead her to the altar thinkin he'd be laughin last Now the lady in question is his better half
(Chorus)
DF#mED Shes gotta be the stupidest girl I've ever seen
F#mED Don't care who, why or where I've been
F#mBm She's got a right to be everything that's wrong with me
ED But she doesn't wan't to understand that she's a girl and I'm a man (Fig 1 again)
(Same as first verse) He thought that woman and drinking made a man out of him But the extent of his study left a jaded man So when she lead him to the altar he was easily led And when they ask him if he did, well, this is what he said
Chorus
Solo over verse chords Bridge
