The Ballad Of Me And My Friends Lyrics
Everybody thinks they'll be the man, including the girls
The musicians who lack the friends to form a band are singer-songwriters
The rest of us are DJ's or official club photographers
And tonight I'm playing another Nambucca show,
So I'm going through my phonebook, texting everyone I know,
And quite a few I don't, whose numbers found their way into my phone.
But they might come along anyway, you never really know.
Pretty soon we'll all be old
And no one left alive will really care
About our glory days, when we sold our souls
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights
But we'll have all the best stories to tell
Yes I'm definitely going to hell
But I'll have all the best stories to tell
"The musicians who lack the friends to form a band are singer-songwriters" great line!
I am going to go out on a limb and suggest that most of my friends will be joining me in Hell.
Hopefully the few that do get to Heaven get passports to come visit us. Don't like that "eternal happiness" fool you, all the best parties are thrown in Hell. :-)
greatest song ever written!!!!!!!1
It's kind of pointless looking at these songs too deeply sometimes cos he's so direct but it really makes it work cos you just get the picture straight away. This song's just a put up or shut up to everyone who's ever just sat around doing nothing to make the plans they've always said they'll achieve.
I really feel that the line about the destination and taking a flight is definitely misunderstood. I feel the artist meant that if you want to go to the end and don't want to take your time to get there as quick as possible, because he's talking about taking in everything he can during his "glory days" and doesn't want them to end.
