about

Just when you thought the Third Woman was getting all soft she ups the ante with "HE AIN"T UP HIMSELF" which paints a picture of a very popular entertainer walking down the street. People say he's up himself but she leaps to his defence. Set to a strange old R&B arrangement Clare Moore sees him coming and going,
"who’s that guy walkin down the street
meetin the gaze of all he sees
seekin the spark of recognition
seein if he lives in there as well
he ain't up himself
he's up everybody else"

lyrics

who’s that guy walkin down the street
meetin the gaze of all he sees
seekin the spark of recognition
seein if he lives in there as well
he ain't up himself
he's up everybody else
he ain’t gloomy, that’s for sure
he ain’t interior
he hates to be by himself
he hates to be alone
he ain’t up himself,nah,
he’s up everybody else
nah,he ain’t no snob
nah,he ain’t precious
just a regular,super regular guy
one of the boys,yeah
he ain’t up himself,nah,
he’s up everybody else
he ain’t against a bit o grippin 'n' grinnin'
he don’t need no learnin
he don’t like his own company
"how the fuck are ya?"
he hears voices ("hi!") everywhere he goes
the roar of the crowd
the ringin in his ears
the applause
except his grips too hard an' his grins too wide
his teeth are too straight' n' he never breaks his stride
he ain’t up himself,nah,
he’s up everybody else
