Thank You For Being a Friend
from THANK YOU! by The Real Numbers
lyrics
Traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant
I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow
And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
Well, you would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
If it's a car you lack
I'd surely buy you a Cadillac
Whatever you need, any time of the day or night
I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow
And when we both get older
With walking canes and hair of gray
Have no fear, even though it's hard to hear
I will stand real close and say
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Let me tell you 'bout a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
And when we die and float away
Into the night, the Milky Way
You'll hear me call as we ascend
I'll see you there, then once again...
Thank you for being a...
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
People, let me tell you 'bout a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Whoa, tell you 'bout a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend

XTC had their moment in time...this recording extends it...Full of small, tight , quirky songs it juz rolls along. Recommended but maybe only for XTC fans..

Track 1 hooked me out of the gate, and it's an 11-way tie for 2nd-favourite. The lyrics, instrumentation, arrangement, dynamics, performance and production are excellent throughout. Others have used the word "fresh" to describe Tamar's music, and I agree. I'm never sure what will happen next and that's what makes it so exciting!
