From the day he was born

He was trouble

He was the thorn in his mother's side

She tried in vain

But he never caused her nothing but shame

He left home the day she died

From the day he was gone

All he wanted

Was rock 'n' roll, porn, and a motorbike

Shooting up junk

He was a lowdown, cheap little punk

Taking everyone for a ride

When Eddie said he didn't like his teddy

You knew he was a no-good kid

But when he threatened your life

With a switchblade knife

What a guy

Makes you cry

And I did

Everybody shoved him

I very nearly loved him

I said "Hey, listen to me

Stay sane inside insanity"

But he shut the door and threw away the key

But he must have been drawn

Into something

Maing him warn me in a note which reads

"I'm out of my head

Oh, hurry or I may be dead

They mustn't carry out their evil deeds"

When Eddie said he didn't like his teddy

You knew he was a no-good kid

But when he threatened your life

With a switchblade knife

What a guy

Makes you cry

And I did

When Eddie said he didn't like his teddy

You knew he was a no-good kid

But when he threatened your life

With a switchblade knife

What a guy

Makes you cry

And I did, whoa whoa whoa

What a guy

Makes you cry

And I did, hey hey hey

What a guy

Makes you cry

And I did, yeh yeh yeh

What a guy

Makes you cry

And I did

Eddie
