High Life

You were just like me, and we became friends
Monday I beat you - Tuesday you got your revenge
Your mum made crumpets, but my dad made toast
We shared our secrets, I loved you the most

And we were living the highlife and singing the blues
I got a friend, and you’ve always been true

You cut your hair short; we all said it looked cool
You laughed at my green jeans, and we danced just like fools
You drank tequila but I preferred gin,
Together through thick and together through thin

And we were living the highlife,  singing the blues
I got a friend, and you’ve always been true

 



 

BREAK...

We drifted so briefly, twelve hours apart
Our lives were diverging, you were still in my heart
I saw your heartbreak, I saw your pain
I saw your healing, you were joyful again

And we were living the highlife, singing the blues
I got a friend, and you’ve always been true

Still sharing the heartaches, still singing the blues
I’ve got a friend and you’ve always been true
Still sharing our laughter; still sharing our tears
I know you’ll be there for a hundred more years

And we'll be living the highlife,  singing the blues
I got a friend, and you’ll always been true
Yeah, we'll be living the highlife, singing the blues
I' got a friend and you'll always be true

This song is for you, always been true
This song's for you, you, you, always been true
This song's for you
