Songtext Best friend Split Enz

Best friend

You're my best friend, you help me
Face the facts with your flights of fancy
You're the one I want to hobnob with
You're a man after my own heart.

Two is company, three's a crowd

At my temper, with family circle
have to pay the penalty

Just another allied casualty

You're my best friend, you're my only
Won't break or bend, you're no phony.

Melodrama, make me snap

Now my sidekick, is the world and his way

Come and help me, right some wrongs
We're in limbo, bollocks a kimbo

[chorus:]
You're my best friend, you're my only
Won't break or bend, you're no phony.

I don't see you, we're still friendly

Separate not for love or money...

That's how it is for me and my friend [spoken]
We hold each other aloft [spoken]
We go crofting together [spoken]
We take the smooth with the rough [spoken]

[repeat chorus]

[
Tim:] Thank you, we'd like to do a song now from the 'True Colours'
album. this was an album that hardly anyone knew about at the time,
it was, it's a long time ago now, it was a bit of a cult sort of
thing, uh. ...it was called True Colours, and um, we actually
had a song called 'True Colours - I, I reckon Eddie we should just
do a verse of that. now just for old time's sake
