Our Mutual Friend Lyrics

No matter how I try I just can't get her out of my mind

And when I sleep I visualise her.

I saw her in the pub. I met her later at the night-club.

A mutual friend introduced us.

We talked about the noise

And how it's hard to hear your own voice

Above the beat and the sub-bass.

We talked and talked for hours, we talked in the back of our friend's car

As we all went back to his place.



On our friend's settee She told me that she really liked me

And I said "cool, the feeling's mutual?.

We played old 45's. I said "it's like the soundtrack to our lives?

And she said "true, it's not unusual?.

Then privately we danced

But couldn't seem to keep our balance,

A drunken haze had come upon us.

We sank down to the floor and we sang

A song that I can't sing any more,

And then we kissed and fell unconscious.



I woke up the next day all alone but for a headache.

I stumbled out to find the bathroom.

But all I found was her wrapped around another lover.

No longer then is he our mutual friend.
