Arrival - Friends

FRIENDS by Arrival (written by Terry Reid) - 1970

I had a friend who had friends by a river
They too had friends who had friends of their own
All seated round takin' port after dinner,
Port that was bought by the friends that were known

No one ever seems to care
Just as long as they were there
Friends beside you
Friends to guide you
Friends beside you, everywhere

There's nothing new, it's all there to remind you
It's no different anyway you recall
You only wait around and float on every corner
And know you're in luck
'Cause you know them more

No one ever seems to care
Just as long as you are there

Friends beside you ( beside you)
There to guide you (to guide you)
Friends beside you (beside you)
Everywhere (everywhere)

We all have friends who have friends by a river
We too have friends who have friends of their own
All seated round drinkin' port after dinner
Port that is bought by the friends for their own

No one ever seems to care
Just as long as you are there

Friends beside you
Friends to guide you
Friends beside you to stay
Friends beside you (you need)
Friends to guide you (you know you need)
Friends beside you (you need)
Friends to guide you (you really need)
Friends beside you (you need)
Friends to guide you (you need)
Friends beside.

this song and peter skellen's your a lady have been stuck in my head since the seventies, and now after well over 30 years, I can finally listen them again, thanks to all and youtube.

@Nanafifi1 yes that is correct frank collins has been seen in the studio remastering :)

This is great & so is Dyan Birch but why wasn't the Terry Reid original a hit??

[Nanafifi1]

@deansgatedora I believe in the original version written by Terry Reid it was taking pot after dinner, but the words had to be changed for commercial reasons.

@Nanafifi1 Fantastic. I've been wanting to get a recoding of this for thirty years! Brilliant just to hear it again.
