Supergrass Ghost of a Friend song lyrics

The ghost of a friend came down to me singing don't go back to misery

She spread out her wings and said listen to me

This aint no place for you to be

Oh my darling you can set me free

So I packed up my sorrows and I followed her down to the West Way Road

heading outta town

The grass is greener off the beaten track

Come with me and we won't look back

Oh my darling I could only try

Yea the clowns here have taken the town, yeah the fools here are runnin'

me down

Well I don't need them around they got nothing on you, they got nothing on

you no

And the lady sings

Oooooooooohhhh

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Oooooooooohhhh

Now the ghost of a friend is leaving me

For another dark place of misery

But the fires burning and the winds they change

I know I'll see my friend again

Oh my darling you have made me see

There's always a circus in town

With the vultures, peacocks and hounds

Well I don't need that around, they got nothing on you, they got nothing

on you no

And the lady sings

Oooooooooohhhh

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Oooooooooohhhh

You see there's always a circus in town

With the vultures, peacocks and hounds

Well I don't need that around, they got nothing on you, they got nothing

on you no

And the lady sings

Oooooooooohhhh

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Oooooooooohhhh

And there she goes
