Lyrics
Imaginary 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.
He's moving into an art deco pad
To swell the ranks of the clinically sad
Shaking off the past with a change of address
But keeps his telephone number and hopes for the best
He makes a list of all his favourite friends
Then leaves his footprints on the steps
That shine with tears that he has wept
again... and again...and again... and again...
He bought his clothes from a skateboard boutique
Hung around in places where nobody speaks
Got on line to an internet club
Played trivial persuit with the godess of love
And counted his imaginary friends,
Got up to ten, lost count and then
Went out to walk the streets
'Til god knows when
He met a girl who liked a bit of a laugh
He gained the youth that he'd forgotten to have
So now they mess about with things that are highly illegal
Often get mistaken for interesting people
And no-one ever seems to ring their bell
But do they care, well do they hell
They're gonna kiss and never tell
again... and again... and again... and again
