"Eddie Walker" lyrics
"Eddie Walker"
Won't you smile, you look so shocked
Put the name-tag on your smock
We've come to see ya
Eddie Walker
And we may pack a little tight
The girl up-front says it's alright
And look there's more of us still getting off the bus
We wish you'd come back home with us
Eddie Walker this is your life
This one's you when you were small
And you learning how to walk
They pick you up and you keep falling down
There you are with Aunt Louise
You're bouncing on her knees
Remember all those trees behind the garden?
They're gone
They all got cut down when she died
Eddie Walker this is your life
You never had a son or a wife
You sure had a hell of a time
Eddie Walker this is your life
You never had a son or a wife
You sure had a hell of a time
This one's you and Mary Jo
Well she couldn't come, she says, "Hello."
No, Eddie Walker, she doesn't hate your guts
It's just the whole thing shook her up
How they picked you up and you kept falling down
Eddie Walker this is your life
You never had a son or a wife
You sure had a hell of a time
Eddie Walker this is your life
You never had a son or a wife
You never had a reason to cry
This whole stack, and all of these
For your semester overseas
We're gonna leave ya
Eddie Walker

Frightened Rabbit - "The Modern Leper" A cripple walks amongst you, all you tired human beings
He's got all the things a cripple has not, two working arms and legs
