Friend of the People
I was talking to a friend of the people
Was kissing babies like a diplomat
was on remand & on my best behaviour
shaking hands & getting in on the act....
The business people were getting drunker than usual
The conversation slipped below the skull
Exchanging glances with a reporter from Teen Hits
I'm an apprentice whore on my way to Babylon
I was a bit like you
You showed me what to do
I was introduced to the sound of confusion
Got propositioned by a passing nun
I was indisposed & unavailable for comment
I'm on the borderline
with nowhere to go
I was a bit like you
You showed me what to do
