Friends

Michael Monroe:
I know a man
Back in Japan
Backyard Babies is his favourite Band
Joey Ramone:
I got a friend
His name is Ben
He's gone to hell
But they won't let him in
All:
'Cause there is nothing
That touches me the way they do
And all the lies you've been hearin', baby
They're all true
'Cause there is nothing
That touches me the way they do
Nothin' touches me the way these people do
Danko Jones:
I got a friend
Her name is Grace
When we broke up
It put a smile on my face
Tyla:
And there's a girl
That I love
All sadly she resides in heaven up above
All:
'Cause there is nothing
That touches me the way they do
And all the lies you've been hearin' baby
They're all true
'Cause there is nothing
That touches me the way they do
Nothin' touches me the way these people do
Nicke Borg:
Look at all these
Lonley people
They're born to lose
But they can not die
Nina Persson:
I love my friend
My only friend
He doesn't know me
But his word is my command
Kory Clark:
We meet our friends
Down at the bar
Celebirty intoxicated stars
All:
'Cause there is nothing
That touches me the way they do
And all the lies you've been hearin' baby
They're all true
There is nothing
That touches me the way they do
Nothin' touches me the way these people do
Nothin' touches me the way these people do
Nothin' touches me the way these people do
I said nothin' touches me the way these people do
Nothin' touches me the way these people do
Nothin'
