We Your Dearest Friends lyrics

We, your dearest friends

Are having dinner without you

We're witty and we use it to be vicious

In just another minute

We'll be laughing about you

To the untrained eye

It wouldn't look suspicious

We, your dearest friends

Don't really care if you have needs

Your hopes and dreams

Are trivial by your standards

We make fun of how you sing

And then we imitate your speech

And the stupid things you say

We like to slander

But we won't reel you out too far

'Cause after all, we need you for

Our ongoing quest

We've bonded here in faithlessness

To undermine your happiness

Toying with your paranoia

Everything you do annoys us

It annoys us

We remember how

You bought us all those gifts

You liked to make us think

You were so generous

Well, be careful in the future

Of everything you say and do

'Cause it can and will be used

Against you by us

We, your dearest friends

Judge you "guilty“

Here and now

Of thinking you're a star

When it's all over

Nobody wants you

And we the least of all

It's been a long time since

You had those famous lovers

But we won't reel you out too far

'Cause after all, we need you for

Our ongoing quest

We've bonded here in faithlessness

To undermine your happiness

Toying with your paranoia

Everything you do annoys us

It annoys the hell out of us

It's not the straw

No, it's the final straw you'll say

Finally you've grown a sturdy backbone

There'll be no invitation

To your rocky coast this year

Your queenly voice will

Ice us down the telephone

You'll never guess who's joining us

For brandy later on

That's right, it's your bête noire1 from hell

That's who

Are you worried we might spill the beans

Are you worried we might tell

About your little visit to the bin when

You were cuckoo?

But we won't reel you out too far

'Cause after all, we need you for

Our ongoing quest

We've bonded here in faithlessness

To undermine your happiness

Toying with your paranoia

Everything you do annoys us

It annoys us

Toying with your paranoia...

You have an unforgivable personality

Unforgettable, yes

We were so happy once in the Garden of the Finzi-Continis

Oh, yes we were

Never more, never more

Here comes the waiter

We'll just put it on your house charge

You'll never know the difference

Never know...
