a song for a friend

this is a song for friend
this is a song for friend
he knows who he is
but like any song for a friend
like any song for a friend
each meaning is his
he'll hear it when
his last chance has gone
on pirate waves
and X-stations

this is a song for friend
this is a song for friend
he knows who he is
and like any song for a friend
like any song for a friend
each meaning is his

I knew him then
a carefree spiv
now someone who
forgot to live
so here it is
here it is
a song for a friend
I know how you feel
I know how you feel
I know how you feel

this is a song for a friend
who'll hear it when
the cops come round
his open heart
his trousers down
so here it is
so here it is
a song for friend

this is a song for friend
this is a song for friend
he knows who he is
