Middleman - Friends (And I Love My) lyrics

rate me

Climb aboard, let's chase away the horizon.<br />

Every cannon's locked on the dreams I've got my eyes on.<br />

This overcrowded battleship's core-rotten with mutiny<br />

There's gonna be coming and going and coming and paranoid scrutiny.<br />

But we won't know what a happy ending is<br />

Till we row row our boat over a yawning precipice.<br />

<br />

Even though they let you down, <br />

You know they'll always be around.<br />

You ask them now to get your back<br />

But they've always been like that.<br />

<br />

We're still riding the wave, but the crest's about to be fallen<br />

We try to imitate but working hard was never our calling.<br />

When you mix business and pleasure, it's a pleasure doing business<br />

But Mr shoot-on-sight should've been put off by near misses.<br />

Bits of the ship are breaking away and we give impressions of possession, <br />

Snap like two short planks trying to teach each other a lesson.<br />

False promises and lies are the hot air that blow up the life boat, <br />

We pin badly told tails to it, trying to stay afloat<br />

<br />

Even though they let you down, <br />

You know they'll always be around.<br />

You ask them now to get your back<br />

But they've always been like that.<br />

<br />

The boys watch the girls who watch the boys go buy<br />

Pints of sweet bitterness, sinking anchors in their eyes.<br />

We can drown our similarities, focus on the differences, <br />

Avoid titanic mistakes like ex-girlfriends and their sisters<br />

Who once spiced the river, with hostility<br />

Counter current curriculum vitae-die perversitility.<br />

We're under 12 bars of blue pressure, with diamond hand cuff links, <br />

Overcome by it all, and desperate not to sink.<br />

Some aboard the river burst a blood canal pushing their paddles<br />

Some say the boat's wounds are splinters in thick-skinned animals.<br />

Some only give to receive, but receive what's being given, <br />

Some don't live to believe, but believe life's for living.<br />

The current's too strong and there's no going back<br />

We can't buy a prayer and there's no hope of reaching the bank.<br />

Born astride a watery grave the boats now only a raft.<br />

We never meant to build an arc and two by two we're falling out fast.<br />

<br />

Even though they let you down, <br />

You know they'll always be around.<br />

You ask them now to get your back<br />

But they've always been like that.<br />

<br />

And I love my friends<br />

And I love my friends<br />

And I love my friends<br />

And I love my friends<br />

And I love my friends<br />

And I love my friends<br />

And I love my friends<br />

And I love my friends
