Friends of Mine Lyrics
Rita spits out her laurel leaf
and grabs a piece of my pie
she's gonna lead me up the mountain path
as the crows fly
Claudette's pretty quick off the mark
like a polaris missile in heat
she smiles at a hundred miles an hour
and rushes you off your feet
There's all these friends of mine
they've got me suffering
they don't take a line
they keep me pissing adrenalin
Ratty is nearly unique
looks like a Pre-Raphaelite barb freak
wears dangerous jewellery
got a cast iron personality
Sandie wears an awful lot of silk
says she's a friend of Mr Acker Bilk
she's going out of my mind
wants to live on milk
There's all these friends of mine ...
I was musing on the pool outdoors
about foreign matters and fancy affairs
Betty trimmed my nails with pliers
while eating avocado pears
Norman's sobbing cos his make-up's
running away with itself
he's heading for an early grave
scared to death about the state of his health
There's all these friends of mine ...
and grabs a piece of my pie
she's gonna lead me up the mountain path
as the crows fly
like a polaris missile in heat
she smiles at a hundred miles an hour
and rushes you off your feet
they've got me suffering
they don't take a line
they keep me pissing adrenalin
looks like a Pre-Raphaelite barb freak
wears dangerous jewellery
got a cast iron personality
says she's a friend of Mr Acker Bilk
she's going out of my mind
wants to live on milk
about foreign matters and fancy affairs
Betty trimmed my nails with pliers
while eating avocado pears
running away with itself
he's heading for an early grave
scared to death about the state of his health

Man, Pete and Howard have some pretty fkd up friends lol. Im guessing this is just as the title suggests... A song about friends of theirs. I cant beleive nobody has commented on this one yet?? I loooove the guitar fx. Sooo hypnotic. This song rules!
It's about drugs - amphetamines in particular. "Claudette's pretty quick off the mark Like a Polaris missile in heat She smiles at a hundred miles an hour And rushes you off your feet
There's all these friends of mine They've got me suffering They don't take a line They keep me pissing adrenalin...
... They see me in the shape I'm in, they bug me in the shape I'm in They see me suffering, they see me suffering Suffering, suffering, suffering, sulphate, sulphate..."
