I love this song. There's a cautionary tale here about how few 'real friends' we all have. Somebody might be a right laugh but perhaps not someone to lean on in a time of need or share your dark secret with. We'll probably have fewer than 10 real friends in our lifetime and many fail the medical due to weakness, vanity etc.
