Lyrics
You come from work
You return from work
And dish the dirt
And share gossip or negative information
It's hard to bite your tongue and smoke at the same time
It's difficult to restrain yourself from talking while smoking
So we stand on the balcony and clear your mind
So we go to the balcony to clear your thoughts
I don't need logic or to be even-handed
I don't require logical reasoning or neutrality
I know on whose side my opinions landed
I have taken a side in the conflict
When they release the Blu-ray special edition of your life
Imagining a future where your life is documented, emphasizing your perspective
All the deleted scenes will prove you right
Deleted scenes will support your viewpoint
And now
Transition
Your enemies are my enemies, too
Your adversaries are also mine
Your enemies are my enemies, too
Reaffirmation that shared enemies exist
If somebody crosses you, well now they've made me cross, too
If someone wrongs you, they've wronged me as well
Your enemies are my enemies, too
Emphasizing unity against common foes
You come home late
You return home late
Irate
Angry or agitated
It's hard to bite your tongue while drinking wine
It's hard to stay silent while drinking
So we share some bottles 'til everything's fine
We share bottles until things improve
I don't care who's right or wrong
Indifference to who is right or wrong
I know whose side I'm on
Asserting allegiance to your side
When they re-issue the album of your life
Imagining a future re-issue of the album of your life
The bonus tracks and demos will prove you right
Bonus tracks and demos supporting your narrative
And now
Transition
Your enemies are my enemies, too
Restating the unity against adversaries
Your enemies are my enemies, too
Reaffirmation of shared enemies
If somebody crosses you, well now they've made me cross, too
If someone crosses you, they've crossed me as well
Your enemies are my enemies, too
Emphasizing the collective stance against common foes
There's no time to pack
No time to pack, suggesting urgency to leave
They should run and leave it all
Advising others to run and abandon everything
Because now we're a team
Declaring a partnership and strength as a team
We're gonna be unbeatable
Confident about being unbeatable together
Your enemies are my enemies, too
Repetition of the idea that shared enemies exist
Your enemies are my enemies, too
Reaffirmation of collective stance against adversaries
If somebody crosses you, well now they've made me cross, too
If someone wrongs you, they've wronged me as well
Your enemies are my enemies, too
Emphasizing unity against common foes
I'm gonna grow old like Robyn Hitchcock
Aspiration to age gracefully like Robyn Hitchcock
My hair will be white and my shirts will be polka dot
Describing a future appearance with white hair and polka dot shirts
My lyrical well, it'll never run dry
Confidence in maintaining a consistent and abundant creative output
And every summer I write will be on your side
Every creation in the future will be in support of your side
