A Friend Worth The Name

from A Brown Cafe at 3am by The Low Countries

/

lyrics

The monsters are close so I double my dose
Escape in reflections on screen
Karloff speaks in the wood ‘alone bad, friend good’
But some films I don’t think you’ve seen

It’s essential as taking breath
You think it’s a game
It’s a matter of life and death
A friend worth the name

I once knew a man, like Ollie knew Stan
Effortless real and sublime
Rathbone and Bruce they gave me some truth
But now you don’t give me the time

It’s essential as taking breath
You think it’s a game
It’s a matter of life and death
A friend worth the name

Karloof speaks in the wood ‘alone bad, friend good’
But some films I don’t think you’ve seen
