Frank Turner - The Ballad Of Me And My Friends lyrics

rate me

Everybody's got themselves a plan, <br />

Everybody thinks they'll be the man, including the girls.<br />

The musicians who lack the friends to form a band are singer-songwriters, <br />

The rest of us are DJ's or official club photographers.<br />

And tonight I'm playing another Nambucca show, <br />

So I'm going through my phonebook, texting everyone I know, <br />

And I quite a few I don't, whose numbers found their way into my phone, <br />

But they might come along anyway, you never really know.<br />

<br />

None of this is going anywhere –<br />

Pretty soon we'll all be old, <br />

And no one left alive will really care<br />

About our glory days, when we sold our souls.<br />

<br />

But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.<br />

We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.<br />

And we're definitely going to hell, <br />

But we'll have all the best stories to tell.
