Late Night Kitchen Table Friend – Written Friday 1st March 2002 (Aged 27)

Late Night Kitchen Table Friend

i used to be your best male friend
i used to be single,
i used to be your late night kitchen table friend
i used to be your sympathy friend
i used to be your second vote
on the motion of do we sink –
whilst the rest of them just float
i used to be your best male friend
i used to be your pathway found
i used to be your late night kitchen table friend
i used to be your best male friend
i used to be the fence on the cliff –
that women had leapt over –
into a chasm someway beneath
i used to be your best make friend
i used to be a part of your belief
i used to be your late night kitchen table friend
my, how we grow up and how we change
