Eligible Bastard
Written by Allen Keller and Scott Bennett

There's an understanding between me and you
I’ll do what I want you'll do what I want too
You can heat the oils insert the pearls
Put up with the taste of other girls

The eligible bastard

I ransacked your house hocked your jewelry
Deposited your money at OTB
Screwed your best friend got sick on Johnny Red
Woke up the next day all tucked in your bed

The eligible bastard

You always tell me I’m the only one
Where's your self respect
Where's your self preservation
I guess that there's no hope
For a misanthrope
Until he finds someone to hate him

I tied you up took liberties
Poured myself down your throat
You swallowed my disease
And you wear this love
Like some phantom limb
Do I blame myself
No I blame the victim

The eligible bastard

Interpretation

The "eligible bastard" seems to be in to kinky sex, including S&M, and sleeps around, passing along STDs in the process. He steals from his girlfriend and blows the money on the horses at an off track betting location. He is very selfish and takes advantage of other people without remorse.
