So I'll admit that it all started as a scam
'Cause 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

    General Comment:Heres what I reckon: Lou fell in love with a guy from Italy/Malta maybe in 1992 - "Summer '92 I remember it clearly", "I'll leave, and a few of our dreams turn to dust" while she was probably on holiday or something like that. This guy was old but to Lou very charming "Pass my bag I picked up that bra you fancied Yes I knew that you wanted me" a bit like the Nice Guy Eddie character in Reservoir Dogs but his heart was "dicky", and the song says the rest. If you look at the booklet for The It Girl, you'll see Lou and the band pictured in and around Valletta in Malta, so maybe theres some connection?

    General Comment:nice guy eddie is a character played by the late chris penn in quentin tarintino's movie Reservoir Dogs, but i can't make any connection between the lyrics and him. maybe they just needed a title for the song, and were watching reservoir dogs and thought it would be a cool title.
