but I just can't agree
They're just some pushy friends,
they're on my couch, they're on my knee
Compel me to go wandering,
implore me to go forth
Eventually south,
but first it's north, these things must take their course
If I don't let them in, some other fool will
If I don't let them in,
maybe they won't come back again
If I don't let them in,
maybe they won't come back again
They're here on
Tirra
Tuesdays and
Westgate
Wednesdays too
They get energy around
Thursday when the flagellation's through
An d I curse them now and
again like ice in my whiskey
Cos they bring cold when I need warm,
these friendships are risky
But they prod and poke,
I'm the butt of their joke
Cos they know what got me here
I don't sing for days and days
when that's been our joke
For 35 years
If I don't let them in
Some other fool will
If I don't let them in
Maybe they won't come back again
If I don't let them in
Maybe they won't come back again
If I don't let them in
If I don't let them in,
if I don't let them in
Maybe they won't come back again
You've suggested I have demons,
but I just can't agree
They're just some pushy friends,
they're on my couch, they're on my knee
Compel me to go wandering,
implore me to go forth
Eventually south,
but first it's north
These things must take their course
If I don't let them in
If I don't let them in
If I don't let them in
Maybe they won't come back again
you
