I am an unattractive man.' - Notes from the Underground), Soldiers and Ghosts (A History Of Battle in Classical Antiquity) - Lendon. Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie. A fly can't bird, but a bird can fly - A Bear of Very Little Brain.
Sounds Like: I'm not sure who we sound like exactly but in our more youthful days they did say we LOOKED like the 'indie' Take That. And yes... I was the fat, ugly and 'talented' one. (Although I've never really been fat... And many question my talent.)
