So, last month I gave my beard the snip,
But I kept the hair above my lip,
And now I’ve found when I go out,
Heads are turning. My ears are burning.
Please, I’m just an ordinary guy.
I don’t come from 1989.
You must think I’m sexy but I’m not really.
I’m just a man with a moustache,
And though I think I know, I must ask you now:
D’you dig a man with a moustache?
Is this heaven for you?
That’s right. I’ve managed to carpet my top lip,
And that makes you think I’m cool and hip.
I can tell you’re all champing at the bit,
but I’m sorry.
I’m just a man with a moustache.
They must think: “he’s got his battle scars.
He fights bears, makes fires and fixes cars.
He’s handsome like Ron Swanson.
He likes to whittle, and eat his gristle.”
But the truth about us “rugged” guys
May come as a bit of a surprise.
Gorgeous as we are, the fact is:
Most
Of
Us
Seem
To
Avoid
Confronting
Harsh
Emotions.
There’s no need to get into hysterics.
Yes, I know it makes me look angelic.
No, you’re charming, but I’m not Tom Selleck,
Yet…
I’m just a man with a moustache.
I’m just a man with a moustache,
And though I think I know, I must ask you now:
D’you dig a man with a moustache?
Is this heaven for you?
I’m sorry, I can’t help your cat out of a tree.
I’m probably not the man you think you see,
Still I know just how tempting it must be
for you to talk to me,
But I’m just a man with a moustache.

You gave it a go.
You tried it.
And here we are on the day you decided it wasn't for you.
I wish we'd spoken more.
You had a lot to say, and I thought we all had more time to listen.
You made a lot of people very happy.
You left more than you know behind.
It's a tricky world to live in, I don't blame you for turning it down.
We're all so proud of you.
You burned bright.
You gave it a go.
We're so proud of you.

Colonel Dax Wrexham, UK
Colonel Dax is an alternative rock/multimedia project based around the songwriting of Tom Hughes (let's drop the 3rd-person
act. It's me writing this).
I champion the "homemade" approach, and therefore all Dax output is entirely self-produced.
The Dax live band are renowned for tight, fun and at times "explosive" sets.
