The Smile – Friend of a Friend Lyrics

Cover art for Friend of a Friend by The Smile

[Verse 1] I can go anywhere that I want
I just gotta turn myself inside out and back to front
With cut out shapes and worn out spaces
Add some sparkles to create the right effect
They’re all smiling, so I guess I’ll stay
At least ’til the disappointed have eaten themselves away

[Pre-Chorus] Buried from the waist down
Stop looking over our shoulder

[Chorus] All the window balconies, they seem so flimsy as our
Friends step out to talk and wave and catch a piece of sun

[Verse 2] I guess I believe in an altered state
Where they leave their windows and their doors open wide
The telephone lines are always busy
Unable to give a reason or a straight answer

[Pre-Chorus] Buried from the waist down
Stop looking over our shoulders
We need to get this together

[Chorus] From our window balconies we take a tumble as our
Friends step out to talk and wave and catch a piece of sun

[Outro] All of that money
Where did it go?
Where did it go?
In somebody’s pocket
A friend of a friend
All the loose change
Loose change
