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
|
