We, your dearest friends
|
Are having dinner without you
|
We're witty and we use it to be vicious
|
In just another minute
|
We'll laughing about you
|
To the untrained eye
|
It wouldn't look suspicious
|
|
We, your dearest friends
|
Don't really care if you have needs
|
Your hopes and dreams
|
Are trivial by your standards
|
We make fun of how you sing
|
And then we imitate your speech
|
And the stupid things
|
You say we like to slander
|
|
But we won't reel you out too far
|
'Cause after all, we need you for
|
Our ongoing quest
|
|
We've bonded here in faithlessness
|
To undermine your happiness
|
Toying with your paranoia
|
Everything you do annoys us
|
It annoys us
|
|
We remember how
|
You bought us all those gifts
|
You liked to make us think
|
You were so generous
|
Be careful in the future
|
Of everything you say and do
|
`Cause it can and will be used
|
Against you by us
|
|
We your dearest friends
|
Judge you "guilty"
|
Here and now
|
Of thinking you're a star
|
When it's all over
|
Nobody wants you
|
And we the least of all
|
It's been a long time since
|
You had those famous lovers
|
|
But we won't reel you out too far
|
`Cause after all, we need you for
|
Our ongoing quest
|
|
We've bonded here
|
In faithlessness
|
To undermine your happiness
|
Toying with your paranoia
|
Everything you do annoys us
|
(it annoys the hell out of us)
|
|
It's not the straw
|
No, it's the final straw you'll say
|
Finally you've grown a sturdy backbone
|
There'll be no invitation to
|
Your rocky coast this year
|
Your queenly voice will
|
Ice us down the telephone
|
|
You'll never guess who's joining us
|
For brandy later on
|
That's right, it's your bete noir from hell
|
That's who
|
Are you worried we might spill the beans
|
Are you worried we might tell
|
About your little visit to the bin when
|
You were cuckoo?
|
|
But we won't reel you out too far
|
`Cause after all, we need you for
|
Our ongoing quest
|
|
We've bonded here in faithlessness
|
To undermine your happiness
|
Toying with your paranoia
|
Everything you do annoys us
|
It annoys us
|
|
Toying with your paranoia
|
|
You have an unforgiveable personality
|
Unforgettable, yes
|
We were so happy once in the Garden of
|
The Finzi-Continis
|
Oh, yes we were
|
Never more, never more
|
Here comes the waiter
|
We'll just put it on your house charge
|
You'll never know the difference
|
Never notice
|

WE YOU DEAREST FRIENDS
