|
Along by the canal |
|
You can see the remnants of last night's reverie |
|
As left by the local tenants |
|
But these aren't the gifts they give free in shopping malls |
|
This is real life that's sprayed across the tunnel walls |
|
You know who your friends are |
|
You know who your friends are |
|
They're the ones who want to see you go far |
|
You know who your friends are |
|
The last time you tried to leave here for a working holiday |
|
You said your mother needed you two thousand miles away |
|
But no sooner on the tarmac you were met to be told |
|
We've been waiting for you |
|
You just can't leave the fold |
|
You know who your friends are |
|
You know who your friends are |
|
They're the ones who want to see you go far |
|
You know who your friends are |
|
They'll never let you go |
|
They'll never let you know who your friends are |
|
Know who your friends are |
|
They say that loyalty is just for those who've earned it |
|
Is that why they stole the sofa from your parking space and burned it |
|
You were hoping you could leave here with some teeth still in your head |
|
But your friends on curtain row would rather see you dead |
|
You know who your friends are |
|
You know who your friends are |
|
They're the ones who want to see you go far |
|
You know who your friends are |
