They say nice guys finish last
But I’m a nice guy that used to be bad
They say nice guys finish last
But I’mma nice guy you ain’t never had
Just for a moment
Think outside the box
Life could be different
More options than you thought
And I come a long long way from
Back in the days
When trouble used to follow me
But now everything’s okay
They say nice guys finish last
But I’m a nice guy that used to be bad
They say nice guys finish last
But I’mma nice guy you ain’t never had
Just for a moment
Think outside the box
Life could be different
More options than you thought
And I come a long long way from
Back in the day
When trouble used to follow me
But now that I’m fresh and clean they say..
Nice guys finish last
But I’m a nice guy that used to be bad
They say nice guys finish last
But I’mma nice guy you ain’t never had
(I’m the kind of nice guy you ain’t never had)
Oh yeah
I’m the kind of nice guy you ain’t never had
Cause I’m a nice guy that used to be bad
You never met a nice guy like me
Never underestimate the nice dude
Never underestimate the nice guy
Do don’t do it
Cause you ain’t never met a nice guy like me
They say nice guys finish last
But I’m a nice guy that used to be bad
They say nice guys finish last
But I’mma nice guy you ain’t never had
(I’m the kind of nice guy you ain’t never had)
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
