Pretenders - You Know Who Your Friends Are lyrics

Along by the canal you can see the remnants
Of last night's reverie
As left by the local tenants
But these aren't the gifts they
Give free in shopping malls
This is real life that's sprayed
Across the tunnel walls

You know who your friends are
You know who your friends are
They're the ones who want to see you go far
You know who your friends are
The last time you tried to leave
Here for a working holiday
You said your mother needed you
Two thousand miles away
But no sooner on the tarmac you
Were met to be told
We've been waiting for you
You just can't leave the fold

You know who your friends are
You know who your friends are
They're the ones who want to see you go far
You know who your friends are

They'll never let you go
They'll never let you know
Who your friends are
Know who your friends are

They say that loyalty is just
For those who've earned it
Is that why they stole the sofa from
Your parking space and burned it
You were hoping you could leave here with
Some teeth still in your head
But, your friends on curtain row
Would rather see you dead

You know who your friends are
You know who your friends are
They're the ones who want to see you go far
You know who your friends are
