Cockney Rebel - A Friend For Life Lyrics






Through a smoke-filled glass on a desperate night
When the sole of my shoe lets in rain
When the heart's tired of running and the milk's gone sour
Will your feelings still be the same?

When the match won't light so the flames don't tremble
And the years are condemning us too
I'll need a soul-mate to hold me and a friend for life
And I'm hoping it might be you

When I think of life as a chance not taken
Or as a compromise tinged with regret
When the kids leave for breeding and the TV's king
Will you tell me we're not done yet?

Will you think of me as a distant island?
Or will you come with me to the moon?
I'll need a soul-mate to hold me and a friend for life
And I'm hoping it might be you

Give me asylum and I'll keep the faith
Keep me in coffee and so safe
And I'll feed your cats and I'll paint walls
And I'll be your one-night-stand

Will you come with me in the certain knowledge
That the catch is there's no catch at all?
I'll need a soul-mate to hold me and a friend for life
And I'm hoping it might be you
Yeah, I'm certain it must be you

    Through a smoke-filled glass on a desperate night
    When the sole of my shoe lets in rain
    When the heart's tired of running and the milk's gone sour
    Will your feelings still be the same?

    When the match won't light so the flames don't tremble
    And the years are condemning us too
    I'll need a soul-mate to hold me and a friend for life
    And I'm hoping it might be you.

    When I think of life as a chance not taken
    Or as a compromise tinged with regret
    When the kids leave for breeding and the TV's king
    Will you tell me we're not done yet?

    Will you think of me as a distant island?
    Or will you come with me to the moon?
    I'll need a soul-mate to hold me and a friend for life
    And I'm hoping it might be you.

    Give me asylum and I'll keep the faith
    Keep me in coffee and so safe
    And I'll feed your cats and I'll paint walls
    And I'll be your one-night-stand.

    Will you come with me in the certain knowledge
    That the catch is there's no catch at all?
    I'll need a soul-mate to hold me and a friend for life
    And I'm hoping it might be you
    Yeah, I'm certain it must be you.
