The Kinks - All of My Friends Were There lyrics

[The Kinks - All of My Friends Were There lyrics]

My big day, it was the biggest day of my life
It was the summit of my long career
But, I felt so down
And I drank too much beer
The management said that I shouldn't appear
I walked out onto the stage
And started to speak
The first night I've missed for
A couple of years
I explained to the crowd and
They started to jeer
And just when I wanted no one to be there

All of my friends were there
Not just my friends
But their best friends too
All of my friends were there
To stand and stare say what they may
All of their friends need not stay
Those who laughed were not friends anyway
All of my friends were there


To stand and stare

Days went by
I walked around dressed in a disguise
I wore a mustache and I parted my hair
And gave the impression that I did not care
But oh, the embarrassment, oh, the despair
Came the day
Helped with a few large glasses of gin
I nervously mounted the stage once again
Got through my performance and
No one complained
Thank God I can go back to normal again

I went to that old cafe
Where I had been in much happier days
And all of my friends were there
And no one cared say what they may
All of my friends were there
Not just my friends
But their best friends too
All of my friends were there
Now I don't care
