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 she was gone
All he wanted
Was rock and roll porn
And a motorbike
Shooting up junk

He was a low down 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 switch blade 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 locked the door
And threw away the key

But he must've been drawn
Into something
Making him warn me
In a note which reads

What's it say? What's it say?

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 switch blade 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 switch blade knife

What a guy

Whoa ho ho

Makes you cry

Hey hey hey

And I did

Eddie
