This is a song about my friends, how we've loved and lost and are reckless to the end,
I grew up in Northern England same place loads of rough folk did,
I reside amongst academics that I dreamt of as a kid,
I've got friends from a place called Cranleigh but I'm not sure where that is,
At least I know of London and I thank god I did,
If you're not from round here, or somewhere close to Leeds,
If you're anywhere south of Manchester you're southern to me,
Pre-Chorus
My middle-England geography is not what it should be,
Come on and let me tell you what's important to me,
Chorus
The nights, the sights, the rights and the wrongs,
You order food and i'll write a song,
We'll play, and don't you say that it's a waste of time because,
You're the greatest friends I've ever come across,
Verse 2
We'll sit for hours talking about life, the rights, the wrongs, the greatest songs and our views on the afterlife,
A few of us with girlfriends, a couple nearly there, she's the love of my life but I won't forget you guys I swear,
Happiness is a pint of bitter that you haven't paid for, a broken telecaster and that amp you can't afford,
We didn't have all that much money but we got by okay, and we weren't all that cultured, but far from Jezza K,
Pre-Chorus
I blew all my money on a tanglewood that I can barely play,
Spoken words are the hardest, but here's what I should say,
Chorus
The nights, the sights, the rights and the wrongs,
You order food and i'll write a song,
We'll play, and don't you say that it's a waste of time because,
You're the greatest friends I've ever come across,
Bridge
The place where my friends dwell the food's still not free,
But we're all in the pub, it feels like home to me,
They gave me a place, in from the rain I head to,
Pre-Chorus
This song's for all the musicians in my life,
Let's hope you all can sing it, later on tonight,
Chorus
The nights, the sights, the rights and the wrongs,
You order food and i'll write a song,
We'll play, and don't you say that it's a waste of time because,
You're the greatest friends I've ever come across,
Outro
The place where my friends dwell the food's still not free,
But we're all in the pub, it feels like home to me,
They gave me a place, in from the rain I head to,
So Harry and Sam, this one's for you
