You know who your friends are lyrics
by Pretenders
Along by the canal you can see the remnants of last night's reverie
as left by the local tenants
These are the gifts they give free in shopping malls
This is real life that's spread across the tunnel walls
You know who your friends are
You know who your friends are
And the ones who want to see you go far
You know who your friends are.
Last time you tried to leave here for a working holiday
You said your mother needed you two thousand miles away
But no sooner on the tarmac, you were meant to be told
We've been waiting for you, you can't just leave the fold
You know who your friends are
You know who your friends are
And the ones who want to see you go far
You know who your friends are
Never let you go
They'll never let you go
Know who your friends are
They say that loyalty is just for those who found it
Is that why they stole the sofa from your parking space and burned it
You were hoping you could leave here with some teeth still in your head
But your friends on Cotton Row would rather see you dead
You know who your friends are
You know who your friends are
And the ones who want to see you go far
You know who your friends are
You know who your friends are.
