Eddy Who? Men like Eddy Boston are as rare as shooting stars, and just as intelligent. My friends, we can never comprehend how fortunate we are to live in a time when such a man is present. Women have been known to swoon when confronted by his vast talents. And he's a pretty good musician, too. Yet we must stop and ask ourselves, who is this Eddy Boston? Where did he come from? Is he a gift from heaven? A visitor from a superior planet? Or can it be, can it possibly be he's merely one of us, a fellow human being? To these questions, we are doomed forever to wonder. Some experts believe he is from Medford, MA, and he's been sighted at various venues in the Boston area, such as The All Asia Bar in Central Square, The Skybar in Somerville, and The Skellig in Waltham. Eddy's music spans the genres, from dumb to really dumb. He makes us laugh, he makes us cry, he makes us hungry. In the man's own words: "If it weren't for my stupidity, I'd be some kind of genius."

Story behind the song
I wrote this based on the phrase "shyly yet slyly." I used the phrase casually, remarked that it was a bit of a tongue twister, and someone challenged me to write a song with it.
Lyrics
Shyly yet slyly I smiled to the side Saying, "See, it's just me. It's nothing special" You said, "Yeah, I know," but you knew I'd lied. I can't pass it off as a typical trifle. The lyrics I laid down were simple But I should have seen all along It seemed like simply a scribble Didn't know I'd just written a love song Yeah, I guess you could call it a ballad Not my typical song about drinking But the way your eyes glittered and glinted I could see you knew what I was thinking The lyrics I laid down were simple But I should have seen all along It seemed like simply a scribble Didn't know I'd just written a love song So what do you think of my love song?
