John's Song "My Friend(so long)."
I don't own the show/characters/song
I heard your record on the telephone
It was my cousin Joan
She picked it up from the top 40 rack and then
It was my idea to quit, my idea to give it up. It's just when I hear songs that I wrote
being played on the radio without my help, I can't help in feel a slight
jealously rising in me.
I read your interview in Rolling Stone
You threw the boys a bone
And so I genuinely felt obliged to call
But I didn't know what to say. Let the truth spill out that I was angry and felt betrayed? Something was stolen from all of us.
I know You never meant to hurt us, man
We're just a baby band
You found a quicker way
To scale the wall of fame
It was the Phillips-Kane band, didn't that stand for
something? The hardest working
musicians the industry had ever seen; didn't that mean anything? I worked my ass off for years, longer then
Rick and his wife. But now I'm the one
without the music.
The situation's awfully dim
Should we up and go with him
No way
I thought of
joining another group or starting one on my own. But I gave that part of me up. Just like cigars and beer the stopping is easy but the not restarting is
where the trouble will get you.
We know exactly where you are, and you're gone my friend
Don't know exactly where you're coming from
You've gone away my friend
We know exactly where you are, and you're gone
My friend
Don't know exactly where you're coming from
Have you gone astray
Unable to speak three words to her without getting upset, so
I let silence fill the miles between us. All of us off in different directions, new goals, and for some the goal
stayed the same. I was a leaver, unable
to deal with the pain so I ran. And
still haven't stopped.
I saw your video on VH-1
Looks like they spent a ton
How does it feel to be the flavor for a spell
And I remember when you used to say
"Jesus is the way"
I never thought I'd see your light begin to fade
I guess the hours of hard work those months ago meant
nothing, because I certainly didn't film that shit. Molly dear old Molly can't you see that no matter how hard you
try you'll never be what you were with Rick and I at your sides?
The situation's awfully dim
Should we up and go with him
No way
Don't think we don't miss you
We think about you every day
We still love you anyway
Love don't go away
There's still this burning question
Got to know why
I seem to be walking down a dead end street looking for the
dreams of frame of fortune that I once touched. The Phillips-Kane Band are now on shows like Where are they
now? But I know where I am; just I don't
like the location.
Wish You well
My friend
Here's a toast to Molly for all she does comes out the best possible. Here's a toast to Rick whose memory will live forever. And finally a toast for me that I'll be able to hide my pain away at all times.
