Nice to Have a Friend

Camping ground for newlyweds

Your Subaru ran up to red

And only we could make it there alive

I used to think that we were kids

With nowhere else that we could fit

And in a way I guess that I was right

The cinema was empty so we slid under the door

Crept to the projector room and dug around the floor

Fifteen reels of film that showed how we would live and die

Laughed ourselves to silence as we watched each others lives

You know it's nice to have a friend like you

A stern request to pay the rent

A plot to top the government

The hero might not get the girl today

But for every obstacle you see

We'll make it up, just you and me

By telling it so many times it stays

The cinema was empty so we slid under the door

Crept to the projector room and dug around the floor

Fifteen reels of film that showed how we would live and die

Laughed ourselves to silence as we watched each others lives

You know it's nice to have a friend like you

I used to think that we were kids

With nowhere else that we could fit

But up and up and up towards the skies

Countdown in the cockpit as we lift off from the yard

Laughed ourselves to silence as we flew towards the stars

You know it's nice to have a friend like you
