"Eddie's Song" Lyrics

Eddie's Song
Written by James Bourne/Chris Leonard

[James]:
Eddie kick started his career
One summertime in May
A shitty band with friends from school
But only he could really play
The moment that he took the stage
His friends were blown away
(S: his friends were blown away)
I always knew that he'd go far
I'm glad I lived to see the day

Chorus: (James leads vocals)
Eddie's got 27 kids but he doesn't know
(S: Eddie doesn't know, Eddie doesn't know)
Shame he'll never be around to see them grow
Said he had a different girl after every show
(S: after every show, Eddie doesn't know)
But he was always way too gone to remember though
So Eddie doesn't know

[Steve]:
At 3am, it's getting late
The after party's closed
Everybody follows Eddie
They just won't leave him alone
Calls seven girls to his hotel room
And takes off all their clothes
(J: take off all their clothes)
Some people say he had it easy
But that is just the way it goes

Chorus

Na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na na na
Na na na, na na na na
Na na na, na na na

[James]:
He's in deep and there's a reason
He's all alone and he can't change
Like the seasons, they come and then they go
To all the kids that don't look like their mum or dad
Don't freak out, don't you let it make you mad
As long as they both love you then you should be glad
Just think about the little problem Eddie has

Chorus: (James leads vocals)

Eddie's got 27 kids but he doesn't know
(S: Eddie doesn't know, Eddie doesn't know)
Shame he'll never be around to see them grow
Said he had a different girl after every show
(S: after every show, Eddie doesn't know)
But he was always way too gone to remember though
