What if best friends and lovers lyrics

Basically this stanza is talking about being irresponsible. Just like the world is with crude oil, its time that we all walk around, use less of it, and become more responsible.

It makes much more sense with those lyrics That poster must have been like, "What the heck is the song about!? Oh and the first line is definitely "I'm a ne'er do well". Here's the definition of a "ne'er-do-well": merriam-webster.

These lyrics are much better than the what's posted. The only mistake I see is in the second line. It's "Running out of black gold" according to the booklet that came with the CD Chief on October 03, By the way correctionerection, isn't it possible that he is running out of coffee black gold to stay awake, and that's why he has to pull over and walk around a while? Chief on October 03, Correctionerection is right, but you make a good point Chief.

I just assumed it was coffee without thinking too much about it. I wonder why the lyrics haven't been fixed on the page yet. It's been quite awhile now. I really love this song. I was sad they didn't play it in Atlanta in September. General Comment "'Friends and Lovers' is a song that I always hoped we would write. I do believe it is my most favorite thus far. It speaks to the heart of many of our culturally held biases about relationships and what love looks like.

It combats the long held notions of love and intimacy and plainly states that Friends make the best Lovers. And that love can in fact be born of friendship and can indeed last outside of our pre-persrcibed notions of what it looks like, feels like and how it endures.

Movies and Religion have largely defined our cultural notions of this most important of topics. And in this song it was my attempt to share a different idea of what modern love might look like.

It does sound like BBC's song "How can you swallow so much sleep". Very good ear! Very interesting TheFashionista on January 29, Lyric Correction I'm a ne'er-do-well running out of black gold it's high time I pulled over and walked around for awhile. I've seen that porcelain shell your exoskeleton and I feel like we'd walk well together because, in the end we are friends and lovers. If asked of me I would gobble them to bits, the things that wall us off from where we belong.

What's wrong with you is good for what's wrong with me and I think maybe we should stick together because, in the end we are friends and lovers.
