Hello, Eve, you can't see me
But I've focussed you in my mind
I was your first and you were my first
And so we left the solo strumming days behind
Us on a duvet, in the nude, on hot summer afternoons
Was time and energy well spent
Then you picked up your knickers when the seat of learning called
And down the hall of empties you went
You said, you said,
'This isn't the end, we'll stay good friends
A weekend visit, an occasional text…'
NEXT!
Along came Jones, I jumped on your bones
I was there to fill the interim
When your fat husband worked away, we love rats would play
And you would never talk of him
Dropping social graces, we got off our clothes and faces
A frottage a deux on the QT
But when you suggested something out of the blue
You suddenly lost all of your beauty
You said, you said,
'He's bald and chubby, but my hubby
Fancies a threesome and he's highly sexed…'
NEXT!
Then there was Linds in the horn-rimmed bins
We were pub rubbish, always trashed
A few bottles of vino, getting obsceno
The Fort Cortino's dash was well splashed
Like Stan & Ollie or Kev & Lolly
We made an oddly perfect couple
Till you faced the saggy facts and cleaned up your act
Joined the gym to get fit and supple
You said, you said,
'I've taken up weights, kicked carbohydrates
Want to see my pecs when they're flexed?'
NEXT!
There was Beryl, and Meryl, and Sally, and Sam
There was Sharon, and Karen, and Pixie, and Pam
There was Doris (wife of Horace), there was Suki, and Reiko
There was Stacey, and Tracy, and Eric (big mistake)
And now there's just me and these memories
Of who I've had and what I've lost
There's not to live for or on now the money's gone
Up the wall, down the drain, casually tossed
In the old folks home where the old groaners moan
Until their kids take them off in a hearse
I daily wash and shave on the off-chance of a rave
With a comely buxom nurse
I say, I say,
'Wouldn't you rather have a spot of how's your father?'
And she looks at me perplexed…
NEXT!
Composed by Paul Hamilton & Dave Pope.

This is a low-level slow-burning marvel of almost nonchalant brilliance. Often, one finds beneath all the FX and gloss there's no song at all. Aaron Freeman has an ocean of depth beneath the surface. smokingantrecords
