My friend, I was told
You’re on the verge of giving up
Which reminds me, friend, back then we
Used to get rid of all the troublemakers in the city
You were the commander,
And I was the strike force
Our pals were so dependable
The most powerful and invincible
My friend,
I’m doing the same
Still singing lamely
But in truth, my friend, I’m struggling too
It’s tough
Putting up a front all the time
I suppose you’re still you
Unable to complain,
Keeping it inside
And yet, still smiling
In our photos,
We’re forever glaring fiercely
Desperately putting on a show of bravado,
Trying not to be fooled by dirty lies
For instance,
If I killed someone,
Would you still
Believe in me, my friend
In our photos, we’re forever
Glaring fiercely at something
Desperately putting on a show of bravado,
Trying not to be fooled by dirty lies
In this world, on this small island,
Within the same city
How we were born and how we met
I’ll sing of how we spent our days
Like I did before
A black-tailed gull, the tetrapod, the sun
The blue sky, rapeseed flowers, my friend
