Nice Guy Eddie Lyrics - Sleeper

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 

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
