Gruff Rhys Bad Friend Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Though I can't promise you
Every hour of every day
I need to feed the kids
And take them to the park to play
They say it's impossible
To be everything to everyone
All I can say is that
I'll have your back for your panic attacks
[Chorus]
And though I'm a bad friend
Yes, I've been a really bad slack friend
Just know I'm well meaning
And I'll be there at the end
Oh yes, I'm a bad friend
But maybe bad friends are still friends
Just know you're a good friend
And that I'll be there at the end
[Verse 2]
Though it's a struggle when
You can't take everyone away
On a caravan holiday
To the western edge of Wales
Just know it was raining
And the beer was warm and the chips were wet
And you were missed a lot
And we took selfies in your name

[Chorus]
And though I'm a bad friend
Yes, I've been a really bad slack friend
Just know I'm well meaning
And I'll be there at the end
Oh yes, I'm a bad friend
But maybe bad friends are still friends
And better than an enemy
And I will be there at the end
[Bridge]
All those good times that we shared upon the road
All those struggles disappear
All those troubles in the world in relief
Given friendship, never shiver
[Outro]
You know I'm as reliable
As asking a seal to deliver the post
Or a random Pokémon
To remember the number of your phone
And though I'm a bad friend
Yes, I'm a really, really bad friend
Just know I'm well meaning
And I'm still here at the end
