Pilou was feeling confused
Too much at once for his mind to focus
Nobody likes to be used
A bundle of nerves though he seemed calm and robust
And nobody told him it was sunny outside
And nobody told him that the world was wide
And he only felt that his hands were tied
That his feet were kicking against the tide
She made marionettes
She loved the control of her puppet fingers
A life without regrets
But where are the feelings that he used to trigger?
She wanted the sunshine all to herself
She wanted her own world and nobody else
She'd stack all her life neatly up on the shelf
Getting worried sick about fitness and health
Beware of me, beware of me (I hold out a hand)
Beware of me, beware of me (To test for the rain)
Beware of me, beware of me (My taste buds are tired)
Beware of me, beware of me (Of sipping champagne)
Beware of me, beware of me (I jump on my push bike)
Beware of me, beware of me (And cycle to town)
Beware of me, beware of me (And line up Pastises)
Beware of me, beware of me (And gurgle them down)
Nobody told me if you kick the cat
You're pretty likely going to end up scratched
She does not like me drinking prior to 12
She doesn't know we're going to save ourselves
They praised the wonderful feast
They said the race wouldn't run its course
Laugh you two-headed beast
But Pilou hears and he never ignores
He wished he'd had the courage to poison their wine
He wished he'd let them hang from his washing line
But when he was asked he replied he felt fine
As the question devoured his mind
Where are my friends? Where are my friends? (And out in the garden)
Where are my friends? Where are my friends? (Amongst the wild herbs)
Where are my friends? Where are my friends? (I've just had a starter)
Where are my friends? Where are my friends? (I need an hors d'oeuvre)
Where are my friends? Where are my friends? (I take out a wine flask)
Where are my friends? Where are my friends? (I'll just have a drop)
Where are my friends? Where are my friends? (I don't need a woman)
Where are my friends? Where are my friends? (I know when to stop)
