Friends Of Mine Lyrics
When we're all in a crowd
And you catch her eyeAnd then you both smile
I feel so good inside
And when I'm with her
She talks about you
The things that you say
The things that you do
It feels so good to know two people
So in love...
So in love...
They are friends of mine
(Joyce and Terry)
They are friends of mine
(Paul and Molly)
And they've got something
(Liz and Brian)
It's so hard to find
(Joy and David)
They are friends of mine
(Kim and Maggie)
They are friends of mine
(June and Daffy)
And they've got something
(Jean and Jim)
You don't often find
(And Jim and Christine)
She takes your handWhen the world stays outside
That's something to see
That's nothing to hide
And when I feel bad
When people disappoint me
That's when I need you two
To help me believe
It feels so good to know two people
So in love...
So in love...
They are friends of mine
(Joyce and Terry)
They are friends of mine
(Paul and Molly)
And they've got something
(Liz and Brian)
It's so hard to find
(Joy and David)
They are friends of mine
(Kim and Maggie)
They are friends of mine
(June and Daffy)
And they've got something
(Jean and Jim)
You don't often find
(And Jim and Christine)
It feels so good to know two people
So in love...
So in love...
They are friends of mine
(Joyce and Terry)
They are friends of mine
(Paul and Molly)
And they've got something
(Liz and Brian)
It's so hard to find
(Joy and David)
They are friends of mine
(Kim and Maggie)
They are friends of mine
(June and Daffy)
And they've got something
(Jean and Jim)
You don't often find
(And Jim and Christine)

The things that you do
So in love...
So in love...

Of Montreal did a cover of this song, the Zombies version is the original. Anyone who likes early Of Montreal or other Elephant 6 stuff should check out the album Odessey And Oracle.
This song actually comes off as just a little bit bittersweet to me, despite how cheery it sounds. The guy sounds genuinely happy for his friends, but it's implied he doesn't have that kind of close relationship with anyone himself. And as a bit of irony, I've read that all the people named in the chorus were actual couples the band knew, but almost all of them broke up by the time the album was out.
Friends of Mine is clearly a song about a man experiencing jealousy of his fellow friends and peers. The bitter, almost sardonic tone of the song at "feels so good to know two people so in love" is the clear give away. This is even further confirmed by the sarcastic "ahh" at the end of the song. It's pretty evident with this cadence that the general point is, "oh great a bunch of people dating except for me.. feels so good to know... ah.. yeah fuck my life.
I thought of Montreal gave birth to this
this song makes me unbelievably happy oooooo his friends that he loves, love eachother so nice
bubbles
and zombies were born before of montreal
