All of My Friends Were There - 2018 Stereo Remaster

[00:04.90] My big day, it was the biggest day of my life.
[00:08.97] It was the summit of my long career,
[00:11.36] But I felt so down, and I drank too much beer,
[00:13.24] The management said that I shouldn't appear.
[00:15.45] I walked out onto the stage and started to speak.
[00:19.74] The first night I've missed for a couple of years,
[00:21.92] I explained to the crowed and they started to jeer,
[00:24.17] And just when I wanted no one to be there,
[00:27.39] All of my friends were there.
[00:33.30] Not just my friends, but their best friends too.
[00:40.44] All of my friends were there to stand and stare,
[00:46.81] Say what they may, all of their friends need not stay.
[00:55.88] Those who laughed were not friends anyway.
[01:02.86] All of my friends were there to stand and stare.
[01:13.27] Days went by, I walked around dressed in a disguise.
[01:17.58] I wore a mustache and I parted my hair,
[01:19.94] And gave the impression that I did not care,
[01:22.01] But oh, the embarrassment, oh, the dispair.
[01:24.23] Came the day, helped with a few large glasses of gin,
[01:28.31] I nervously mounted the stage once again,
[01:31.02] Got through my performance and no one complained,
[01:32.94] Thank God I can go back to normal again.
[01:35.94] I went to that old cafe,
[01:42.45] Where I had been in much happier days,
[01:49.71] And all of my friends were there,
[01:53.86] And no one cared.
[01:56.89] Say what they may, all of my friends were there.
[02:05.46] Not just my friends, but their best friends too.
[02:12.90] All of my friends were there,
[02:16.68] Now I don't care.
