Lyrics
Romeo and Juliet
Louis and Mademoiselle Antoinette
Napoleon and Josephine
Mickey and the Rodent Queen
Anthony and Cleopatra
Nicholas and Alexandra
Ken and Barbie, Dick and Jane
Well, Superman and Lois Lane
I am not impressed
I love you the best
(Impressed)
Well, I am not impressed
Just a bunch of losers
You know there are lot of fools
Long list of victims, not that cool
I got nothing in this world to live up to
I'll never kill you, this I swear
Then kill myself just to be fair
I'll never need another queen
We'll never face the guillotine
Love is gentle, love is kind
Doesn't poison baby's wine
Isn't jealous or provoked
Doesn't quit or give up hope
I am not impressed
And I love you the best
(Impressed)
I am not impressed
It's just a bunch of losers
Act just like a fool
A long list of victims, not that cool
I've got nothing to live up to
I am not impressed
A long list of victims
Well, I am not impressed
Long list of victims

That hair! 😂

[@dragonflyflutterby2952]

I love Charlie, he’s so incredibly talented and kind and he’s a gorgeous creature.

[@CosmicChild1111]

I fell in love with Charlie Sexton with his hit "Beat so Lonely"... a big teenage crush for me!!! 💗✨

[@simonchaddock3694]

Hello cosmic from nirvanaman11

[@saintuk70]

Beat So Lonely got so much play on.... geez... whatever rock show that used to be on TV back in the day

Lucky to have seen Charlie Sexton with Arc Angels many times in Austin. When their album came out in the early 90’s I wore that thing out.

[@minnieminx4842]

I bought one of his albums in vinyl in my youth…His face was on the front wearing I think a black beret hat…He had the most cracking cheekbones 🥰 That album got played a lot! I have just recently sold most of my vinyls including the one of Charlie Sexton…Memories…Cheers for sharing! X

[@lisaknell1809]

The higher the hair the closer to God! 😂 Loved this song and Charlie is really talented. He plays with Bob Dylan today.

[@dragonflyflutterby2952]

He’s played with Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Bowie too. He’s done countless sessions and he produces with his own record co. I believe Arc Angels? He’s amazing and Bob Dylan (he’s worked with father and son) said he loves Charlie and wishes he was a big star when Charlie was still very young. I wish he was too, but at least he’s had a lot of really good gigs with a lot of great musicians. He’s got it all.

[@simonchaddock3694]

Sounds good first time hearing it🎉

[@nanchanger]

Charlie gave me hope...

[@mikebarton]

He's doing terrific music education, amongst his other varied projects, in Texas these days.

[@Pepino2017]

Such a talent - victimized by unfortunate 80’s packaging…Glad he’s had a long-sustained career as a group member/session player, beyond the Aqua Net and Keith Forsey/Billy Idol-lite era.

[@govtom4]

My wife and her friend saw CS at that time in EPTX and the women there were so ravenous for CS that another girl bit my wife’s friend. Actually, bit her. Crazy.

[@scottblack9213]

Amazing musician.. unfortunately for Charlie it was never going to happen for him in the U.K with the ultra-processed American Metal Guitar sound and the backing musicians who could sub for Huey Lewis' "news".

[@bassfingers]

Absolutely no truth to the rumour that this fella was responsible for the “hole in the ozone layer” scare of the 80’s. 😉

[@obelix703]

Wasn’t he 16 or 17 when this clip was made?

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

if that's true he looks at least ten years older

[@govtom4]

Maybe 18 at most.

[@talkingmudcrab718]

Its British John Cougar Mellencamp.

[@lisaknell1809]

He’s actually from Texas!

[@mlgspoderman]

What hap to him he had two hits then dissappeared. He was in D. Zappa music video lol

[@SuperMururoa]

He could have been an American Billy Idol...

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

always came across as a poor man's Billy Idol. According to wiki he was born in 1968 which makes him 17 here lol, I don't think so

[@nanchanger]

When did he play guitar?

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

@@nanchanger had the same producer which is why his songs sound the same

[@nanchanger]

@@The.Last.Guitar.Hero. not to me they don't...

[@govtom4]

Could be true, but guy can rock. Cheers from Texas, bro.

[@nanchanger]

@@govtom4 I saw his brother Will play at 17, VERY talented family...

[@beetleything1864]

Holy big hair and shoulder pads - ah the 80's -- bit Bowie ish -- but more embarrassing and yeah what the heck is he signing about - no one knew ......or cared.......

[@phil.c.]

Just no.

[@KevKavanagh]

WTF were they thinking! Had forgotten about this guy, fortunately his talent has endured, but FFS, that was cringeworthy! The audience non-reaction speaks volumes.

[@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music]

Never saw the Adam Ant connection before.
