Thank You Friends Lyrics

This song is so goddamned awesome. I love the uplifting female 'oos and aahs' before the chorus. This song is amazing because of the totally, utterly bitter sarcastic lyrics which are obviously about no-one giving you any help at all and being abandoned and betrayed, contrasted by uplifting, upbeat poppy music. The melodies are superb, it sounds pretty commerical to me too. Should have been a huge hit.

I love the sarcasm in this one!

Indeed! They made it all so... PROBABLE!

A lot of us have been there and the apathy of friends during tough times makes it worse.
