Lyrics of

This moody bastard

View the transcriptions
	
Little friend of mine
Can you still recall
Our salad days
Between the ivy walls

Beneath the autumn sun
When all is said and done
We were a good combination
We were good clean fun

Still my thoughts roll back
Every now and then
Think about you
Remembering
I start in smiling
And I just can't stop
You on the bottom 
Me on top

These day's it's like a tomb
Amid the stacks of gloom
Looking out the window
In the downstairs room
And the time goes by

And the time goes by
Sometimes it goes so slowly
You know a man could cry

Till the days goes down
In deep disgrace
With empty pockets
And a dirty face
And then the day boils over
And there's nothing there
But a room full of smoke and a lot of hot air

This moody bastard remembers
You were some kind of friend now and then
Once in a great while
He needs one
This moody bastard
He needs one
He needs some kind friend now and again
Once in a blue moon
Could use one

Little friend of mine
You don't even know
When the wind starts blowin'
How far a man could go

Little friend of mine
Are you even there
Did you disappear
Into thin air

If you're still here with me
If you get this far
I hope you're smiling
In fact I know you are

This moody bastard remembers
You were some kind of friend even then
Once in a great while
He needs one
This moody bastard
He needs one
He needs some kind friend now and again
Once in a blue moon

Could use one
