Momus - Old Friend New Flame lyrics

rate me

I went with a friend of mine

I hadn't seen in years

To a party

That would end in tears

He'd told me on the phone

His new lover was appealing

Beautiful and young

Probably worth stealing

I tingled to my bones

Watching my friend's new squeeze

He'd always been alone

Now he had somebody

Stuck by the fridge door

Bored by the disco sounds

I found magnetic letters

Started to push them around

My magnetic game

Seemed to draw people to me

My old friend's new flame

Came tiptoeing over to me

Satan possessed my soul

As she stood watching me

I spelled out B L O

W space M E

I saw her young eyes stretch

But my old friend's new lover

Laid, the unfaithful wretch

Her head upon my shoulder

I saw my friend nearby

Suddenly stone cold sober

No longer my friend

And ten years older
