LYRICS:

VERSE 1
Eddie was extraordinarily ordinary / Never securing a wife
Feeling the weight of his worth / He skipped and hobbled through life
Oh Eddie, your head's not right

VERSE 2
Eddie was angst-ly acquainted with unrequited / Filling his days with despair
Clipping his lawn of astro turf / And mowing his greying hair
Oh, Eddie thought no one cared

VERSE 3
Eddie was prone to ever perseverate / Never relenting the pain
Wearing his Wellies on sunny days / And opening his window for rain
Oh Eddie, wasn't ready when the time came

ENDING
Longing to be somebody / Back-stroking in mental mirage
Resisting reassurances / Eddie often self-sabotaged
Oh Eddie, when will you understand
Even Ordinary's Extraordinary / in the Maker's Hands
