You're My Mate Lyrics
I'll tell you what
I think, i think she's a cow
She's let you down too many times now
Let's go for a drink forget it from now
Put it behind you i think it's your round
Cause you're my mate and i will stand by you
You're my mate and i will stand by you
And in the face of things that could hurt you
You're my mate and i will stand by you
Cause you're my mate and i will stand by you
You're my mate and i will stand by you
And in the face of things that could hurt you
You're my mate and i will stand by you
Cause you're my mate
I'll tell you what i think i think he's a pain
He ain't got a car but he drives you insane
Let's go for a drink and think of you
Enough about him let's talk about you
All i wanna do is get drunk here with you
I think this is a great song, I like to listen to it and sometimes I just say to my best friend Tricia some of the lines out of it like: Cos you're my mate and i will stand by you.
"All i wanna do is get drunk here with you"
I think this song tells a touching story that exemplifies the duality and venality of man. He starts off talking to a guy, ostensibly his 'mate', but he doesn't want to talk about his mate's failed relationship, he just wants a free drink.
Then later on in the song he is talking to a woman, who seems to be the girlfriend (ex) of the guy he was talking with earlier. He doesn't want to talk about her problems either, but he wants to take advantage of her situation, at the same time betraying his first 'mate'.
The whole 'stand by you' thing is sung in an ironic way, perhaps showing the bitterness of past wrongs that have been done to the singer.
Very deep and meaningful (!)
Hang on does that mean RSF aren't gay? Personally I think maybe he's having a cheeky poke(NPI) at trying to 'convert' straight guys in the first verse... the 2nd he cjust ouldn't be bothered to change the lyrics much and made it deliberately ambigous... either way, respect... the ultimate Eurotrash band!
no Davehepcat they are not gay
