Talking To Pylons by The Cooper Temple Clause Lyrics

Been talking to pylons
About how to make friends
Felt a funny connection
So I shared a few words
He said "Go to the river side'
I should find a few there
But then he asked if I'd stay a while
Said it would sure make his day
He said it's sure nice to see your face
No one comes here no more
Thanks for staying and talking a while
It's hard to find a friend

La la

So I went to the riverside
Amongst the cranes and the piers
And I thought for the first time
I could settle down here
I played pool at the shipyard
With all the new friends I'd made
I play cards at the quayside
With a battered old wave
First I'll make the trip home
Back to see my old friend
See I promised to visit sometimes
So this won't be the end
He said I'll be right here when you need me
I ain't going nowhere
Thanks for dropping by, it was a gas
It's hard to find a friend
It's hard to find a friend
La la
