Love and laughter and us together
It all came so naturally
Drinking and smoking and carrying on
Not always strictly legally
With our bodies and souls and minds as one
It seemed destined to last forever
But now I wonder if you really are true friends of mine
Legendary tales which seemed so exciting
Through our drunken bravado
Extreme behaviour appeared from our nature
As we let our spirits go
With a yell and a scream, we were the young team
Cute pups just let off the leash
Now I wonder if you really are true friends of mine
Each of us brought our own quality sweets
To share amongst the boys
You got more from me than I did from you
I had to beg to use your toys
But what the hell it was all for one and one for all
Or at least I perceived it that way
Yes, now I wonder if you really are true friends of mine
I took a look from outside the gang and realised
Some things need to be said
It is time I removed my Roy Orbison shades
Put the light back into my head
You all could see that I had some potential depth
You tried to make me shallow
So now, I wonder if you really are true friends of mine
Playing now as I did then in my own swirling circles
No room for rectangular squares
I never held no swords to your love boats
Yet you reacted like threatened bears
I’m finding my way out of the maze of our making
One day you will have to find yours
Now, I really wonder if you ever were real true friends of
mine
Cheers!
