about

The album send off, a sepia-tinged paean to the bedrock of friendship while all else crumbles. Written and performed on a nylon string guitar, here accompanied by Rob on brushes and glockenspiel with Maria Piacentini guesting on double bass. It was all the song needed and a fitting album closer (and album title).

lyrics

The fields we played in they're a housing estate
The trees we climbed have met a similar fate
We weathered the storm, best buddies were born

Our football pitch is now some tower blocks
Our two screen cinema a row of charity shops
We weathered the storm, best buddies were born

Though our world it is changing for good or bad
You're my best friend, I ever had

We swam in rivers now the Northbound M6
We knew of 3 James Bonds, now there's at least 6
My pals at school have disappeared or worse
Middle management it's the modern curse
We weathered the storm, best buddies were born

Though our world it is changing for good or bad
You're my best friend, I ever had
