Rush - Take a Friend

THIS IS RUSH'S SONG, NOT MINE. I'M NOT TRYING TO STEAL THEIR FANTASTIC WORK.

Take a Friend - Rush
Album: Rush
Year: 1974
Genre: Classic Rock

Lyrics:
Well, I'm lookin' at you
And I'm wond'rin' what you're gonna do
Looks like you got no friends
No one to stick with you till the end

Take yourself a friend
Keep 'em till the end
Whether woman or man
It makes you feel so good
So good

Yes, you think you're all right,
And now you're lonely ev'ry night
Well, you need a friend
Someone on whom you can always depend

Take yourself a friend
Keep 'em till the end
Whether woman or man
It makes you feel so good
So good

Yes, you need some advice
Well, let me put it to you nice
I said you need a friend
Someone who'll stick with you to the end

Take yourself a friend
Keep 'em till the end
Whether woman or man
It makes you feel so good
So good

Favorite Rush album! And this song ties "Finding My Way", "Working Man", and "Anthem" as my favorite Rush song. Thanks a million for posting!

[Ryu12543]

@Kynatics My pleasure, it is a pretty underrated song by them.

@windridr66 Seconded! My favorite track from their first LP along with "What You're Doing". Alex's solo is pure genius and an awesome tone to boot. Oh yes, and Geddy's meticulously proper grammar in this hard rock context is a hoot ("someone on whom you can always depend...")

people dont know the first album by rush this one was actually recorded in cleveland, and the last album to date is the one at the cleveland agora in 1974 best live and unreleased songs if you go to the agora concert from 74 you will hear this album and them saying their very first american tour performance here in cleveland , noke cleveland.

amazing how many people miss the openly bisexual innuendo.....just saying.....these guys were so far ahead of the pack....and no one noticed their contributions to establishing humanistic thinking amongst an entire generation of Canadians

[LifeUnderTheSwatter]

I feel like a better person when I listen to RUSH.

[MultiDannyboy89]

It's clear that, even at this point, they were polishing their skills. And you can tell that this isn't Peart playing. I think Moving Pictures will remain my fav Rush record.

Forever Alone... with my friend :)

@TheObjo And the way it should be!!

Jann Wenner made an account and disliked this song.

[Mystica245]

I WAS HOOKED THE SECOND I HEARD THIS 40YEARS AGO LOL

[probrojeffro]

Definitely very raw, sophomoric, undeveloped Rush. You can tell how young and influenced they were at this time, like most young bands are. But when they grew. THEY GREW!!! YEAH!!!!
