Biography:
Wreckless Eric (born Eric Goulden on the 18th May 1954 in East Sussex, England) was part of the pub-rock scene before he became one of the earliest artists to be signed to Stiff Records. Even as a singer-songwriter with a distinct singing voice, his records failed to chart but his live shows were his main successes, winning him a faithful audience to whom he continues to play to this day. Most recently he has been recording with his wife Amy Rigby (an American singer-songwriter) as Wreckless Eric & Amy Rigby.

Hit and Miss Judy
by Wreckless Eric
E B7 B E
E B7
Working at the bank and counting out the money for no thanks
B E
Going down the drain she's only got herself to blame
E B7
Going round in circles arriving back at where she's coming from
B E
Life for Miss Judy surely can't be any fun
A E
She bends down and whispers things in your ear
A B7 E
But Judy girl that's not the kind of things I wanna hear
B E
Oh, oh, oh, hit and miss Judy
A E
The world's only here for girls like you to be rude in it
B E
Oh, oh, oh, hit and miss Judy
A B7
Keep on trying you're sure to fire off a direct hit
E B7
Working all day for the pleasure of beholding a heaven on earth
B E
Life for Miss Judy it's an endless succession of physical jerks
E B7
Blown with all the elegant charm of a monogrammed handkerchief
B E
Judy stands serene in a palace of sin beyond her wildest dreams
A E
She bends down and whispers things in your ear
A B7 E
But Judy girl that's not the kind of things I wanna hear
B E
Oh, oh, oh, hit and miss Judy
A E
The world's only here for girls like you to be rude in it
B E
Oh, oh, oh, hit and miss Judy
A B7
Keep on trying you're sure to fire off a direct hit
E B7 B
A/C#
Sometimes she thinks she'll get away with it
E
She might just hit the target
A/C# A
But Judy girl I wish you'd call it a day
A/C# B7
Oh my darling you're so alarming (alarming)
E B7
She scares me to death with the effort of trying to be everybody's friend
B
I see they've regrouped on the highway now and everyone involved
E
Is going round the bend
E B7
But when Judy takes aim you won't be seeing anyone for miles and miles
B E
'Cause if Judy hits the target you're guaranteed to be paralysed
A E
And then she'll bend down and whisper things in your ear
A B7 E
But Judy girl that's not the kind of things I wanna hear
B E
Oh, oh, oh, hit and miss Judy
A E
The world's only here for girls like you to be rude in it
B E
Oh, oh, oh, hit and miss Judy
A B7
Keep on trying you're sure to fire off a direct hit
