lyrics

This concertina walking will never get me home
My feet missing in action
And my legs are two trombones
As I fumble for a lighter
I scream "I'm a lover not a fighter
Though these days is neither that I'm much cop at"

And when I'm drunk you're my best friend
You're my best friend
Everybody in the room is my best friend
Is my best friend

There’s some next level nonsense that I should just ignore
A few drinks in, I feel better than before
It’s not that I’m reliant on the paraffin they pour
I need a little something to grease the wheels
I need a little something to grease the wheels

And when I'm drunk you're my best friend
You're my best friend
Everybody in the room is my best friend
Is my best friend

The lights suggest a lock-in
At the old hotel tonight
You will find me on the pool table
Triumphant & supine & singing:

I'm drunk you're my best friend
You're my best friend
Everybody in the world is my best friend
Is my best friend
