Brilliant Mind - Leave Your Friends Behind
текст песни

Oh darling, you can gaze upon the chair on which he sat
But where's your boyfriend?
He's stuck up on his own in the flat
Take the words he wrote and place your own name on the page
What did he ever do for you, anyway?

Why so surprised that he can't love you anymore?
When you're so easy to ignore..

Leave Your Friends Behind
Leaving them at sundown, running to the station
She's a loving, honest soul
But will she ever really know?

Leave Your Friends Behind
Leave them destined southbound on the east coast mainline
"Company and trust"
But is that all she really wants?

You've got a best friend, and a possible prospective lover
But they're kinda empty, and they never really talk about the things that matter
Will they ever understand
When they've got family, they've got friends and they've got funerals planned?

Leave Your Friends Behind
Leave them on a Cramlington Industrial Estate
He's a loving, honest soul
But will he ever really know?

Leave Your Friends Behind
Leave them in an all night cafe
On an A1 layby
"Partnership and trust"
But is that all he really wants?

Oh Movern, now you're sure he doesn't love you anymore
Where's your boyfriend?
He's face down on the scullery floor
Take the words he wrote, and place your own name on the page
What did he ever do for you, anyway?

You can swear to change, though you can't help but to accept
That you're so easy to forget

Leave Your Friends Behind
Leave them at their windows, screaming to the street outside
They're loving, honest souls
But will they ever really know?

Leave Your Friends Behind

Leave them pinned down
Bloodied up
and
Begging for life

They cry "Companionship and trust!"
But is that all they really want?

Leave Your Friends Behind.
