War Of The Roses
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You give me your last line said Dave
And I’ll give you my dog
Okay if you’re serious I’ll take it off your hands
And then the next day, amongst the
Debris and the cans
He says: We were all just wrecked last
Night you know
You can't swap a dog for blow, come on
You’re the greatest friend to me
You’re the only friend to me
Nobody cares for me like you
So I said: Let's talk of this no more
Just scrape ourselves up off this floor
I saw grace last night she said she’s into you
Well, I’d go check it out if I were you
She’ll be at the monument at two
You’re the greatest friend to me
You’re the only friend to me
Nobody cares for me like you do
Now come, you’ve gone and tricked me again
This time you really stitched me up my friend
See, I wait four hours, in the rain
Get home and you have snatched my pup
You tried a trick, you’ve come un stuck
Come on man, now what the fuck?
I think you’ll find you took what’s mine
Try to be a man of your word
You got the dog you got the line
So no, you do not get the bird
You’re the greatest friend to me
You’re the only friend to me
Nobody cares for me like you do
