Friends Of Mine Lyrics - Buzzcocks

Rita spits out her laurel leaf 

and grabs a piece of my pie 

she's gonna lead me up the mountain path 

as the crows fly 

Claudette's pretty quick off the mark 

like a polaris missile in heat 

she smiles at a hundred miles an hour 

and rushes you off your feet 

There's all these friends of mine 

they've got me suffering 

they don't take a line 

they keep me pissing adrenalin 

Ratty is nearly unique 

looks like a Pre-Raphaelite barb freak 

wears dangerous jewellery 

got a cast iron personality 

Sandie wears an awful lot of silk 

says she's a friend of Mr Acker Bilk 

she's going out of my mind 

wants to live on milk 

There's all these friends of mine ... 

I was musing on the pool outdoors 

about foreign matters and fancy affairs 

Betty trimmed my nails with pliers 

while eating avocado pears 

Norman's sobbing cos his make-up's 

running away with itself 

he's heading for an early grave 

scared to death about the state of his health 

There's all these friends of mine ...
