Middleman - Friends (And I Love My) lyrics
rate meClimb 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
