Sex, Drugs And Violence In Rock: The Sexual Language Of Rock Part 1
Charles Shaar Murray, NME, 28 February 1976
"Eddie please write me one line,
Tell me your love is only mine,
Please Eddie, don't make me wait so long,
You left me last September,
To return to me before long,
But all I do is cry myself to sleep,
Eddie since you've been gone,
Eddie my love, I'm sinking fast,
Each day might be my last,
Please Eddie, don't make me wait so long..."
– From 'Eddie My Love' by the Teen Queens, 1955
