The Kind Of Friend I Need

[00:04.17] If I'm hanging a tent
[00:05.88] Halfway up on El Capitan
[00:10.96] And need a man to hammer that nail
[00:14.93] I tell you, you would not be that man
[00:19.71] Well, if I get in a fight
[00:23.55] Somewhere in the city one night
[00:27.15] Instead of asking you to step in
[00:31.99] With all respect, I possibly might
[00:36.35] Ask the big bloke stood to your right
[00:40.99] Lucky is the guy in life who has got
[00:44.82] Another guy in his life who can spot
[00:48.98] All of the amazing things that's he's not
[00:53.03] God, how lucky is that guy?
[00:57.59] Says you look a wreck, makes fun of your hair
[01:01.15] But half-two in the morning when you're both worse for wear
[01:05.04] Gives a look back just to check you're still there
[01:09.47] Insult me and offend me
[01:11.68] That's the kind of friend that I need
[01:15.75] That's the kind of friend that I need
[01:20.86] Wеll, when I've written a song (Oh, you writе songs, do you? You didn't mention it)
[01:24.67] Laid my heart and soul really bare (At the piano, is it?)
[01:28.26] It's great to know I've got someone there like you
[01:33.46] To say they think they've heard it before
[01:37.22] Well, when I'm holding the floor (Oh, here we go)
[01:40.29] With another great anecdote (Oh yeah, 'bout your movie star friends?)
[01:44.63] It's great to see you show your support
[01:48.35] By looking at your watch with a yawn
[01:53.44] And then gesture cutting your throat
[01:57.89] Lucky is the guy in life who has got
[02:02.24] Another guy in his life who can spot
[02:06.22] The entertaining superstar that he is not
[02:10.24] God, how lucky is that guy?
[02:14.21] Always criticizes the way that you drive
[02:18.59] But is alive to the way that you feel
[02:22.17] And if your head's in your hands, takes over the wheel
[02:26.22] Defend me and upend me
[02:29.04] That's the kind of friend that I need
[02:32.82] That's the kinda of friend that I need
[02:37.01] A friend like a shot would not dream of telling people
[02:40.69] What happened in that bar in Berlin (Hmm, good)
[02:44.82] Just wouldn't dream of it
[02:46.73] And like that, he wouldn't choose to mention that tattoo (That's so true)
[02:50.57] No one knew (He just simply would not do)
[02:53.86] See? Right then, I chose not to
[02:57.33] Oh lucky is the guy who finds (Oh lucky guy)
[03:00.93] He's suddenly not singing the top line
[03:05.38] But oh how he climbs (All the things that he's not)
[03:09.39] Yeah, yeah
[03:10.50] Yeah, yeah
[03:11.24] Yeah, yeah (Oh, that's enough of that)
[03:13.17] Takes apart your songs
[03:15.76] Dismembers your jokes
[03:17.30] Puts you back on the bike
[03:18.83] Picks dirt from your knee
[03:21.08] Knowing he's the one who threw the stick through your spokes
[03:24.99] Brings you down to Earth
[03:27.26] Argue like brothers
[03:29.73] But a compliment from him is worth a thousand from others
[03:33.34] Deflate my sails
[03:35.65] Puncture my bubble
[03:37.77] Never say you love me or you know we're in trouble
[03:41.75] A friend that's not too kind to me
[03:44.10] That's the kind of friend that I need, oh
[03:50.78] I was the best in that song
[03:55.23] So was I
[03:56.76] It's my album, you know
[04:02.81]
