Lyrics In Times Like These - Alan Price

In times like these
It's good to have a friend
In times like these
On whom you can depend on
For a helping hand
Now isn't it grand

When folks next door
Help you raise a smile
Makes you forget
Your troubles for a while
Now that's what friends are for
I've told you before

And when the money doesn't go far (go far)
We end up drinking out of jam jars (jam jars)
When there's no meat on the table (table)
We live as well as we are able (able)

It's just not true
That we are all alone
It's just not true
'Cause someone must have done it
With somebody else
Or else you wouldn't be here
Do I make myself clear?

And when the money doesn't go far (go far)
We end up drinking out of jam jars (jam jars)
When there's no meat on the table (table)
We live as well as we are able (able)

In times like these
It's good to have a friend
In times like these
On whom you can depend on

For a helping hand
(A helping hand)
For a helping hand
(A helping hand)
For a helping hand (hand)
Isn't it grand?
We all need a helping hand
