Words and Music by Rick Nielsen
I love you honey but I hate your friends
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me
Oh yeah
I love you honey but I hate those friends
That fat cat Frank got a heart of gold
He's got a head of lead, he's young but he acts old
That limp wristed two-fisted diplomat
Better draw a map, to see where he's at
Around and round when he rambles on
'Bout the latest deal we should be in on
We shouldn't give him the time of day
He doesn't give a damn if we sink or swim
I love you honey but I hate your friends
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me
Oh yeah
I love you honey but I hate your friends
Did some toot, yeah we had a blow
Look man, no holes, real nose
When he says hi he really means the moon
He was there long before Armstrong
He stays loose, he says, fill her up
For eternal youth from those Swiss docs.
He's thirty but he feels like sixteen
Check it out: yep, hundred-n-sixteen!
I love you honey but I hate your friends
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me
Oh yeah
I love you honey, let's dance
I love you honey but I hate your friends
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me
Oh yeah yeah
I love you honey but I hate your friends
Let's see, there's Miss Tique and Miss Informed
General Disaster, Mister Know-it-all
Missus A Lot and Private Stock
Corporal punishment 'bout to blow his mind
Mister Mock, Mister Completely,
Miss de Plot, Miss Story,
Mister Call, Mister De Gaulle,
The aging Mister Martin and that ain't all
I love you honey but I hate your friends
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me
Oh yeah
I love you honey but I hate those friends
I love you honey but I hate your friends
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me
Oh yeah
I love you honey but I hate your friends
I love you honey but I hate your friends
They love yourFirst steppeed out of the aeroplane
Felt like I'd been here before
Took a [...] down, put a smile on my face
Felt like I could do more
How ace are buildings?
How big are the blocks?
Reminds me of London
Stuck in a graveyard
Six foot deep, bleaker street, no-one in town
People smile, never got the time
I look down, I cannot see the ground
The man who reads the news says there's no crime
There's no-one around
There wasn't a sound
There's no-one to arrest
[...]
Fell in love with it, don't wanna leave it
Don't ever wanna go back
Skateboards are cheaper, everything's bigger
Whole place stops for the Winter of '96
Minus 10, 1pm east village time
I laugh at your [...]
Snowstorm, so we walk 70 blocks
On days like this, nothing seems too far
Get in the shot
I don't ask a lot
The weather was frozen
It wasn't a [...]
Fell in love with it, don't wanna leave it
Don't ever wanna go back
Skateboards are cheaper, everything's bigger
Whole place stops for the Winter of '96
Maybe I could be here a long time
Much longer than I planned to stay
No telling when they'll get the airport open
No telling when I'll get away
Trying to tell that nothing's wrong
Trying to get the fire back on
Never lost a day of fun
Silence in the heightened mass of [...]
How ace are buildings?
How big are the blocks?
Reminds me of London,
Stuck in a gridlock
Naa, naa, naa, na na naaa, naaa
Naa, naa, na na na naaaa
Naa, naa, naa, na na naaa, naaa
Naa, naa, na, naow
