Divine Comedy Our Mutual Friend Lyrics

Our Mutual Friend Lyrics

No matter how I try

I just can't get her out of my mind

And I when I sleep I visualize her



I saw her in the pub

I met her later at the nightclub

A mutual friend introduced us

We talked about the noise

And how its hard to hear your own voice



Above the beat and the sub-bass

We talked and talked for hours

We talked in the back of our friend's car

As we all went back to his place



On our friend's settee

She told me that she really liked me

And I said, "Cool, the feeling's mutual"

We played old 45's

And said it's like the soundtrack to our lives



And she said, "True, it's not unusual"

Then privately we danced

We couldn't seem to keep our balance

A drunken haze had come upon us



We sank down to the floor

And we sang a song that I can't sing anymore

And then we kissed and fell unconscious



I woke up the next day, all alone but for a headache

I stumbled out to find the bathroom

But all I found was her, wrapped around another lover

No longer then is he our mutual friend
