Lyrics The Ballad of Me and My Friends (Songbook Version) - Frank Turner

Everybody′s got themselves a plan
Everybody thinks they'll be the man, including the girls
The musicians who lack the friends to form a band are singer-songwriters
The rest of us are DJ′s or official club photographers
And tonight I'm playing another Nambucca show
So I'm going through my phonebook
Texting everyone I know
And I quite a few I don′t
Whose numbers found their way into my phone
But they might come along anyway
You never really know

None of this is going anywhere
Pretty soon we′ll all be old,
And no one left alive will really care
About our glory days,
When we sold our souls

But if you're all about the destination,
And take a fucking flight
We′re going nowhere slowly
But we're seeing all the sights
And we′re definitely going to hell
But we'll have all the best stories to tell

And I′mndefinitely going to hell
But I'll have all the best stories to tell
