Pavement Song (1981)

Insofar as he is my friend

He is my friend

Only because I insisted on it

Fighting for everything

Fighting over everything

Eight years on and not yet exhausted

He says

Why do you have to take everything so hard?

You make

Everything so hard

And we laugh, we both believe

You must fight for your life

Be fierce

Fight tough

it’s easier with a friend

My friend
