Seemed Such a Nice Boy Lyrics by Judge Smith

The Full English

0

She had some good O levels
And she was seventeen
And he sold double-glazing
Always looked neat and clean
Each night he’d come around to take her out
And in his mother’s spare-room showed her
Just what life was all about
No one was too surprised
To learn a child was on its way
They chose a ring together
Named an early wedding-day
The church was full when there arrived the telegram that read
‘I’ve gone abroad. Stop. Thе wedding’s off. Stop’
That’s when her mothеr said…
Seemed such a nice boy
Seemed like a real nice kind of boy
Seemed such a nice boy at the time
Seemed such a nice boy
Seemed like a real nice kind of boy
Seemed such a nice boy at the time
George made a pile in textiles
His hair was silver-grey
Collected Meissen china
And was discretely gay
He met a young man who’d been sleeping rough
Said he didn’t want his money
Said his friendship was enough
The boy moved in and made
The great big house a happy home
George went to work each morning
Left the lad there on his own
Came back one night to find the front door open
And all the lights turned on
And the boy, twelve hundred pounds
And all his precious porcelain gone (and he said…)
Seemed such a nice boy...
Oh the heartache when we realise
Charming people have told charming lies
We’re sadder now but does that make us wise?
He spoke to us on TV
In words we’d understand
Made other politicians
Look cheap and underhand
He looked so young and yet so unafraid
The country voted in a landslide
Now we’d see some changes made
We didn’t understand his reasons
For the foreign war
And when the kids protested
He brought in martial law
Though six black years have passed we still ask why
And from behind the wire and searchlights
Comes the terrible reply…
Seemed such a nice boy...
