Nice Guy Eddie

so i'll admit that it all started as a scam

'cos every girl wanted you and a year round tan

we know you're old but you're kind

you're rich and your heart is dicky

yes i knew that you wanted me

and he said

hey love how are you fixed

we'll meet at ten past now it's quarter to six

we'll spend the whole night making love on the sofa

it may sound funny but he wasn't supposed to

and then we both settled down to our favourite meal

d'you fancy veal parmesan and a case of warm chianti

pass my bag i picked up that bra you fancied

yes i knew that you wanted me

and he said

hey love how are you fixed

we'll meet at ten past now it's quarter to six

we'll spend the whole night making love on the sofa

it may sound funny but he wasn't supposed to

it may sound funny but he wasn't supposed to

oh we knew it couldn't last

and we should have left it long before

one great year and one for luck

and like all good things you soon wanted more

you were always so polite

i think i loved you

and i said

hey love i'm making it easy on us

i'll leave and a few of our dreams turn to dust

all night making love on your sofa

and it may sound funny but he wasn't supposed to

summer '92 i remember it clearly

when he choked on the olive in his dry martini

there was dismay from friends he was close to

and it may sound funny but it wasn't supposed to be
