Lyrics
A Powerful Friend
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.
He's got a powerful friend
Who owes him nothing and knows how to spend
Lives in his apartment for free
Waits on the table at tea
Whips up the coffee and cream
Sometimes cries or he'd scream
Phones for the grocery van
The milkman delivers and the newspapers land
When he gets home overnight
His old man mutters and puts up a fight
Over some political scheme
Sometimes cries or he'd scream
Spends all his days en coucher
There's absolutely nothing new to do but delay
The plan to take a different stand
When pizza boys deliver what he needs on demand
Eyes lit with a nicotine gleam
Sometimes cries or he'd scream
