Here he is, folks: The best (living) friend/hetero-lifemate/love interest of Hammond Cheese. It's David St. Clair, a witch with a bit of thing for women (most of the time) and money (all of the time), not to mention crashing on Ham's couch between rich girlfriends. He's got a bit of a thing for Ham, which he doesn't try very hard to hide.
Here it goes!

Fixin' To Thrill. A Modestly Interesting Soundtrack, Disc Three
Do You Want To; Franz Ferdinand
When I woke up tonight
I said I'm gonna make somebody love me...
It was easy: start with a basic scan of the playing field, turn on the charm, slip your arm around their waist, and ask them back to your place after a drink or two (Ham still didn't understand how he did it.)
Lover Boy; Mika
You think you're in love, boy
But you don't really know what love is
You think you're in love girl,
But honey let me show you where your heart is...
He was kind, respectful, and completely willing to do almost anything-- except commit. ("That's just not my style!")
Laura; Scissor Sisters
Freeda, can you spare me a dime,
I got to give myself one more chance
...
Won't you just tell Baby Daddy
I'm gonna need his love,
Why don't he give me his love?
"I just need like, a couple of bucks, that's it!" but those couple of bucks just kept adding up over time, and he eventually found himself back at Ham's-- "Hey man, can you spare me a five?"
Celebrity Status; Marianas Trench
It never stop stops, never stops, well you better
Think it over prima donna you don't wanna sever
All the works to impress, charming girls out of their dresses,
And smiling pretty, well, pretty will swallow you forever...
Another Friday night, another somebody who fell for that smile and those eyes, and he didn't mind the empty feeling at the end of the day.
Jean Genie; David Bowie
Jean genie lives on his back,
Jean genie loves chimney stacks,
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls,
Jean genie, let yourself go!
The "oohs" and "mms" of his life couldn't compare to lying on Ham's couch and demanding more food and less Coronation Street.
Fixin' To Thrill; Dragonette
Oh no, who's got you all dressed up in those clothes?
I said I don't know,
But you're gonna need some help out of those
...
Oh we could do it any way you want
We only like you 'cause you're cute and young
You gotta work what Daddy gave you, son
Go on and show me that you know how to use it
And do your duty...
There was heated fighting with shirts and pants and covers and condoms and it all worked out in the end, because a great time was had by all.
Rudie Can't Fail; The Clash
Then you find a job in the paper,
You need someone for a saviour
...
Now we get-a rude and a-reckless
We been seen lookin' cool an' a-speckless
We been drinking brew for breakfast..
"Get a job, asshole--" but David wasn't listening, his head in the fridge, searching for some beer, and for some reason, Ham couldn't help but have immensely strong feelings for the man.
The Man Who Would be King; The Libertines
But my heart has gone astray,
I watched my friendship slip away
But it wasn't s'posed to be that way
...
What will you do when she comes here?
Oh she'll kill me,
I don't wanna kill me...
He went into the arms of Hell with his head held high, and he knew that it wasn't forever (when he did return, he immediately sat on the couch and stared off into space.)
