Like A Friend Lyrics

Don't bother saying you're sorry.
Why don't you come in?
Smoke all my cigarettes, again.
Every time I get no further.
How long has it been?
Come on in now,
Wipe your feet on my dreams.

You take up my time,
Like some cheap magazine,
When I could have been learning something.
Oh well, you know what I mean.

I've done this before.
And I will do it again.
Come on and kill me baby,
While you smile Like A Friend.
And I'll come running,
Just to do it again.

You are the last drink I never should drunk.
You are the body hidden in the trunk.
You are the habit I can't seem to kick.
You are my secrets on the front page every week.
You are the car I never should have bought.
You are the train I never should have caught.
You are the cut that makes me hide my face.
You are the party that makes me feel my age.

Like a car crash I can see but I just can't avoid.
Like a plane I've been told I never should board.
Like a film that's so bad but I've gotta stay til the end.
Let me tell you now,
It's lucky for you that we're friends.

Like a car crash I can see but I just can't avoid.
Like a plane I've been told I never should board.
Like a film that's so bad but I've gotta stay til the end.
Let me tell you now,
It's lucky for you that we're friends.

Like A Friend Song Chart

This was a song recorded specifically for the soundtrack of the 1998 film Great Expectations, a modern-day adaptation of the classic Charles Dickens novel which moved the setting from 1820s London to 1990s New York - hence the modern soundtrack, also featuring fellow 1990s luminaries Reef, Chris Cornell (of Soundgarden fame), Tori Amos and Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots and later supergroup Velvet Revolver.

At the time of the song's release the band didn't seem interested in playing it live (perhaps because it was only a B-side off an obscure soundtrack), so wasn't as well-known as other songs they were playing at the time. However, the song made its live debut at last at Glastonbury Festival in 2011, and was a mainstay throughout the band's 2011-2012 reunion tour shows, including their farewell show at Motorpoint Arena Sheffield in December 2012.
