Good Friends Are Hard To Find - Ed Harcourt

I wish you the most success

More than I could ever have

I wish you the most happiness

And good friends are hard to find

Don’t make the mistakes I’ve made

And if you do don’t be afraid

The greatest lie that there is Is to believe what they all say

Social loners and deadbeat hacks

I open my arms for you

Cynical romantics want their money back

And you know much more

Than I ever knew

Even though I pretended to Churchgoers wait for the bells to chime

And I’m in a non-defeatist state of mind

I know you’ll shine in the limelight

God knows you’ve done it before

All the girls who dig all your mental scars

And the boys who pat you on the back

You and I may take a different path

But I’ll still be cheering you on You know much more

Than I ever knew

Even though I pretended to I wish you the most success

More than I could ever have

I wish you the most happiness

And good friends are hard to find
