lyrics

Me and my friend side-saddle with sin
Leaving our home towns where it all begins
Left behind all the alligator grins
You had a year on me
We were heading for the smoke with a belly full of hope
Packed up our lives and decided to elope
Every since then we'd need each other to cope
In a pokey little flat in Hackney

Tattooed with a risky past
Never shrewd with a whiskey glass
Personality bric-a-brac
We were dreaming above our means

I'm your counsellor, your social worker
Your best friend
I'm your anonymous ear when you don't wanna be here anymore
I'm your counsellor, your social worker
Your best friend
And I will always be here

We moved to Manor House, we were figuring it out
We were bigger now but never sitting down
I had no crown but was the king of the town
At least that's how I felt
We had the world at our feet but nothing to eat
Life was sweet but blink another week
Lost down the back of the sofa seat in our personal heavenly hell

Tattooed with a risky past
Never shrewd with a whiskey glass
I don't make a habit of looking back
But things began to change

Ten years on, I'm singing this song
We both moved on, my desert billabong
We've lived different lives but we were never wrong when we said we'd stay in touch
We've been sober, single, drunk and in love
But never above a beer and hug
You were there for me when I was growing up and for that I love you so much...
