about

James: I used to play this in another band. It was much slower, more country. Dean, who was in Baby X at the time, brought a whole new dimension to the song. He was listening to a lot of Death From Above 1979, so we tried to add a bit of that to the song, reinvent it.

I remember playing this song at 2 am in a bar in a small town and the drunken crowd going ballistic, having a ball.

lyrics

"Hey, how you been?"
I've been a lot of things.
Indoors or out, but who really knows?
"Hey man! I've seen you on the floor.
You used to be tall, but no-one remembers."

I asked you,
"Are you my friend?"
You were dead, on my birthday.
And you looked at me, like you had a choice.
Like we're all good friends.

I saw you last night, we were together.
Holding hands, but you didn't remember.
I see you now, looking proud.
Proud because you are nothing.
Proud because you are loving.

Like we're all good friends.

Stop lying, I'm tired.

Proud of cuts on your bandaged wrists.
Staring into the mirror, your only friend.
"Hey man!", I say to myself.
"Well are we all good friends?"
