lyrics

Christine it’s been 37 years
While I shower in hypocrisy
I wrote this one just for your ears

Cos your hands are looking older
The veins are starting to show
And my crooked British teeth have turned
A lazy shade of yellow

I’d rather hear the trees
Bending in the wind
Than to see you waste your time
Trying to change the mind of a bad friend

For how long can you celebrate with a frown?
I’ve dug my nails into this armchair
Like it’s a fucking roller coaster

Everyday you’re looking sadder
Like an upside down clown
And all the ones we used to know around here
Are on the grapevine or a gravestone

I’d rather hear the trees
Bending in the wind
Than to see you waste your time
Trying to change the mind of a bad friend

No it isn’t cute or sweet
It’s fucking sickening to see
How a man like him could control your destiny
Well I’ll stop him if you’d let me

Bad Friend
