One of My Favourite Songs Says...

My friend, my friend, my friend
You call me with a troubled mind
You ask for my advice
And I’m always happy to oblige

I could tell you everything I’ve learned
But that’s the last thing you need
‘Cause my shoes would never fit your feet

You won’t find your answers on TV
Not in a bottle, and not in me
Not on a highway or anywhere else
You’ll only find the answers in yourself

My friend, my friend, my friend
You shouldn’t need to look outside
What seem to be solutions
Are just distractions in the sky

You could bury your troubles alive
But then they’ll never die
Till you dig ’em and look them in the eye

You won’t find your answers on TV
Not in a bottle, and not in me
Not on a highway or anywhere else
You’ll only find the answers in yourself

My shoes would never fit your feet…
My shoes would never fit your feet…
My shoes would never fit your feet…
