Lyrics
The Ballad Of Me And My Friends
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.
Everybody's got themselves a plan
Everybody thinks they'll be the man, including the
Girls
The musicians who lack the friends to form a band are
Singer-songwriters
The rest of us are dj's or official club
Photographers
And tonight I'm playing another nambucca show
So I'm going through my phonebook, texting everyone I
Know
And I quite a few I don't, whose numbers found their
Way into my phone
But they might come along anyway, you never really
Know
None of this is going anywhere
Pretty soon we'll all be old
And no one left alive will really care
About our glory days, when we sold our souls
But if you're all about the destination, then take a
Fucking flight
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the
Sights
And we're definitely going to hell
But we'll have all the best stories to tell
