lyrics
Hey James, how are you doin’ man
what are time are you playin’
I wanna see you band
I know aint seen you in awhile
I really like your band
you know I dig your style
Hey James, I see your playin’ tonight
Can you put me on the door if that alright.
Any chance for a couple of my friends
They’d really like to see your band again
Hey pal the answer is no
I never hear from you
Unless I got a show
know you got some money
But you don’t wanna spend
But you call me on a Friday night to get you in
Hey man I gotta say no
Don’t really wanna see you
Think you better go
Sorry pal I ain’t gonna bend
Cause you aint nothin to me
But a Friday night friend
what are time are you playin’
I wanna see you band
I know aint seen you in awhile
I really like your band
you know I dig your style
Hey James, I see your playin’ tonight
Can you put me on the door if that alright.
Any chance for a couple of my friends
They’d really like to see your band again
Hey pal the answer is no
I never hear from you
Unless I got a show
know you got some money
But you don’t wanna spend
But you call me on a Friday night to get you in
Hey man I gotta say no
Don’t really wanna see you
Think you better go
Sorry pal I ain’t gonna bend
Cause you aint nothin to me
But a Friday night friend

As a 58 years young hard and fast music lover Joel’s delivery of “You’re my only friend you don’t even like me” still resonates. I would list it amongst my favourite songs. God, Hoss and a recent super band support of the immortal Beasts at the corner. How about a pressing of that night? Can’t wait for the X album as well Sorcerer. Keep up the good work
