No Friend Oh! Lyrics
young runaway
upstanding man
the spring you seek is not for them
to stroke his cheek
and thus repair the a-hole
of his creator
you always complain no one's good
well here you are let them see
tommy and dan
you can't hold hands
down your street
who cares you're gay
but it's your age
no friend oh
a wretched life to sit through
his sister cries "you'll go to hell"
you're unsure if he's legal
it's more
tommy and dan
you can't hold hands
down your street
who cares you're gay
but it's your age
no friend oh
tommy hits those apartments up
they cannot love anything
you hear a sign
is this what you meant
when you wrote your sister
a chance you take
is they derride your wicked heart
i'm by your side
they don't understand what you do
so what for nor do you
tommy and dan
you can't hold hands
down your street
who cares you're gay
but it's your age
no friend oh
upstanding man
the spring you seek is not for them
to stroke his cheek
and thus repair the a-hole
of his creator
well here you are let them see
you can't hold hands
down your street
who cares you're gay
but it's your age
no friend oh
his sister cries "you'll go to hell"
you're unsure if he's legal
it's more
you can't hold hands
down your street
who cares you're gay
but it's your age
no friend oh
they cannot love anything
you hear a sign
is this what you meant
when you wrote your sister
is they derride your wicked heart
i'm by your side
they don't understand what you do
so what for nor do you
you can't hold hands
down your street
who cares you're gay
but it's your age
no friend oh

"when you rode your scissor"
"when you wrote your sister" ? maybe?
i tried hard haha some of the stuff is just too muddy to understand, which is pretty typical xiu xiu.
this song is obviously about a grown man who falls in love with a young boy. totally heart-breaking.
favorite line: "they don't understand what you do/so what for nor do you".
this is my favorite song off of "women as lovers", too, so yeah, it was a labor of love.
sweeeeeeeeeeet thanks for putting these up! this song is heartbreaking.
It's probably best just to wait until the official release comes out, with lyrics and all.
it should be: "and thus repair the error of his creator"
