MARRIED MAN
(Written by Eddie Mugavero-demo)
This song is a hoot..mostly because I'm not and have never been married. I was listening to a lot of Dave Edmunds and Marshall Crenshaw at the time and loved the rock & roll feel of their tunes. The "...no, no no, no, no's" in the chorus kill me. Haha...An old NJ demo that makes me smile.
MARRIED MAN
AS A BACHELOR NEWLY ALTARED AND MY BLACK BOOK LAID TO REST
I’M GLAD TO SAY THERE’S MORE TO GAIN THAN LOSE
BUT TONIGHT I NEARLY FALTERED..PUT THE SACRED VOW TO TEST
I HEARD A PROPOSITION NO MAN COULD REFUSE..
I WAS TEMPTED BY AN ACHIN’ FOR A FEELING THAT WAS NEW
AND I THOUGHT ABOUT FORSAKIN’ WHAT WAS MINE
SHE WAS RIGHT THERE FOR THE TAKIN’ AND I KNEW WHAT SHE COULD DO
BUT MY CONSCIENCE INTERRUPTED JUST IN TIME..
IT SAYS...”HEY MARRIED MAN…YOU ARE A MARRIED MAN
SHE’S A FINE GIRL BUT YOU’RE SUCH A MARRIED MAN….
MARRIED MAN…YOU ARE A MARRIED MAN
WHAT A TIME GIRL TO BE SUCH A MARRIED MAN…”
WHEN SINGLE WAS MY STYLE I HAD THIS ONE-TRACK MIND
AND A CONSCIENCE WASN’T PART OF THIS MAN’S BRAIN
BUT EVER SINCE I BLAZED THE AISLE I’M SO SURPRISED TO FIND
THAT MY CONSCIENCE IS THE SWITCH THAT STOPS MY TRAIN….IT SAYS
CHORUS
