The Bar Stool Preachers


I found my things
Exactly where they were always going to be
In neat piles of black bags on the street
I took this as a sign to move my feet

In my defense I said
You're always telling me I should do what's right
But I can't face the morning light
'Coz I've got demons chasing me down

She said
Let's do that old two-step, quick sharp
Where we break each other's heart
On this same worn battleground
Rewind

Back to the bar, another night
Where we left in silent, silent fight
It's like you're worlds away from me
Fast forward

6 weeks, 3 months, to half a year
I still got your voice in my ear
It's keeping me on my knees
Have you ever?
Have, have you ever?
Have you ever, been done by love before
Have you ever?
Have, have you ever?
Have you ever, wanted to say?

I choose my friends over you
I choose my friends over you
I choose my friends over you
I choose my friends over you
I choose my friends over you
I choose my friends over you

I won't cry
I've cried to empty bars too many times
I've been strung out, battered, alone and out of my mind
But with my mates here by my side, I reckon I'll find me

Have you ever?
Have, have you ever?
Have you ever, been done by love before
Have you ever?
Have, have you ever?
Have you ever, wanted to say?

I choose my friends over you
I choose my friends over you
I choose my friends over you
I choose my friends over you
I choose my friends over you
I choose my friends over you

I choose my friends over you
I choose my friends over you
I choose my friends over you
I choose my friends over you
I choose my friends over you
I choose my friends over you
