Edward lived with Mary
Like sister and brother
Till one night
Men are this
Men are that
(DIY)
Women too
[DIY]
[DIY]
Then there was three
[DIY]
A new start
[DIY]
A wierd wake
[DIY]
It all changed after Ed's babe
[DIY]
Ed's babe x3
See Ed on a plane
[DIY]
White bundle
[DIY]
In his arms
[DIY]
Ed's baby
[DIY]
See them working away
[DIY]
In bar rocking
[DIY]
Folly is a cloak of knavery
[DIY]
Ed's babe x3
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhs [till end]
Ed's babe
See him working away
Fucking in a bar
Folly is the cloak of knavery
Cos on each arm, girls, twenty one
Ed's babies x6
Life up in smoke
Babe rolled like a joint
[DIY]
Hunger in their home
[DIY]
Ed's babe x3
