wheatfield soul albümünden enfes bir the guess who şarkısı. ziyadesiyle morrisonesque, ve buna bağlı olarak da sonuna dek emprovize ve saykodelik olan şarkının, insanı kendinden alan sözleri ise şöyledir; süresi ise 10:02'dir.

friends of mine don't have the time
for food or wine
just money is on their minds

life is sweet
on a one-way street
they're indiscrete
and funny, they'll never meet

(da doo da doo doo doo doo doo) x 6
oooooooohhhh

b-bay-b-bay-b-bay-b-bay-bay-ba-baby...

i gotta get a two-ton truck
i gotta get a two-ton truck
i gotta get a two-ton truck
i gotta get a two-ton truck
i gotta do it to a duck on a two-ton truck and fade away like ron rene
all right, all right

ahhhhh ahhhhh ahhhhh ahhhhh

you got the magical mystery tour
you got the magical mystery tour
you got the magical mystery tour
you got the magical mystery tour

and kurt is the walrus
and kurt is the walrus
and the walrus does funny things to the veins in his left arm, yeah
all right

and michael is now a father, all right
and michael is now a proud father, all right
and my good friend michael is now a proud father
and michael is now a father, all right
and that means michael's wife is a mother, all right

up the thirteen steps of the gallows walked the condemned man
and time passes very quickly when death is near
after having completed the first step, the condemned man knew there were but twelve left
before he would meet death and his soul would leave his body
and after having completed the thirteen steps the condemned man was met by a giant cloaked figure
and with a quick flick of the wrist the man was dead
and his soul left his body and went down down down
to a place we laughingly refer to as hell
but none of us will ever go there because we're all far too groovy
the man's body was left to rot on the gallows
and a great multitude of black birds came and picked the man's corpse apart
piece by piece
limb by limb
until nothing remained
and his blood melted into the ground below

the gallows was made from a tree created by god
the man's blood dripped into the ground which was created by god
even the giant cloaked figure which was the man's own end was created by god
even the man's soul which went down was created by god
even the black birds which picked the man's corpse apart were created by god
and where was god?

in flanders fields the poppies grow
between the crosses row on row
to mark the dead

to flanders fields the hippies go
to smoke the poppies there below
and feed their heads

and they're all friends of mine, each and every one of them, no better and no worse
and we'll probably end up down there together when it's all over

and that's why we say
b-bay-b-bay-b-bay-b-bay-bay-ba-baby...

all right, all right, all right
it's, it's all over and it's all right.
it's all over and it's all right.
it's all over and it's all right.
all over, and it's all..
it's all right

grave digger'ın "witch hunter" albümünde yer alan harika parça:

friends of mine

all the time friends of mine
compliment me
all day long nothing's wrong
just to please me
what the hell, let them say
they above me
a two-faced lie can't be true
it all bores me
friends of mine say i'm fine -
don't believe them
friend's of mine, they don't know
my suspicion
push on in, stand up close
while i'm winning
get a share, an empty stare -
thanks, i'm leavin'
friends of mine
rule the world
friends of mine
ruin the world
but it's true, i don't know
who's beside me
i look around, see my friends
do they see me
i can't count on one or two
when i'm lovely
but the rest, their interest:
big time money
friends of mine
take good care
friends of mine
better watch out
watch yourselves
friends of mine, i don't know
who's beside me
i look around, see my friends
do they see me
i can't count on one or two
when i'm lovely
but the rest, their interest:
big time money

can we live on borrowed time
but his head shots pretty good
i've been scheming for too long
i was star struck by your mom

we fall in love by accident
a heavenly coincedence
no matter what you think is true
let me introduce you to some friends of mine

oohhh.....
friends of mine
oohhh....
friends of mine
oohhhhh
friends of mine

can we break for passing cars
in the pistol ripping chase
i regret the drugs you lost
so i skipped our second date

we fall in love by accident
a heavenly coincedence
no matter what you think is true
let me introduce you to some friends of mine

oohhh.....
friends of mine
oohhh....
friends of mine
oohhhhh
friends of mine

we fall in love by accident
a heavenly coincedence
no matter what you think is true
let me introduce you to...

can't figure out this place
guess someone hates my guts
i handed him the sign

ohhh... friends of mine

yine pek bir eğlenilesi çok bir güzel duran duran şarkısı olup grubun 1981 tarihli debut albümünde yer alır. her ortamda kulaklarda uğuldaması salak sırıtışlara yol açabilir. yarım iş yapmamak adına sözleri yazılabilesidir:

friends of mine
they said they were friends of mine
said they were passing time
more like a waste of time

close the door
i said close the door
i've told you twice before
what are you waiting for?

georgie davies is coming out
no more heroew, we twist and shout
oh no, not me, i'm not too late,
and i know that i'm not taking any more

rocky picture has lost his gun
leave him out now, he's having fun
oh no, not me, i'm not too late
and i know that i'm not waiting any more
hey hey

through the eyes
don't have to advertise
when will you realize
i'm sick of your alibis?

running cold
the water's running cold
it's time that you were told
i think you're growing old

georgie davies is coming out
no more heroes, we twist and shout
oh no, not me, i'm not too late,
and i know that i'm not waiting any more
rocky picture has lost his gun
leave him out now, he's having fun
oh no, not e, i'm not too late,
and i know that i'm not taking any more

hey hey

(pictures on the wall
they're all friends of yours
see them sell your alibi
it runs you by
think yourself lucky!)

friends of mine
they said they were friends of mine
they were just wasting time
out on the dotted line

the money's gone
i've known it all along
why don't you say i'm wrong?
why don't they drop the bomb?

'cause georgie davies is coming out
no more heroes, we twist and shout,
oh no, not me, i'm not too late,
and i know that i'm not waiting any more
rocky picture's thrown away his gun
leave him out now, he's having fun
oh no, not me, i'm not too late,
and i know that i'm not taking any more

what you doing, friends of mine
holding back now, friends of mine
i've always heard you calling....

cok eglenceli bir the zombies sarkisi, arkaplanda sayiklanan isimler renk katiyor.

when we're all in a crowd
and you catch her eye
and then you both smile
i feel so good inside
and when i'm with her
she talks about you
the things that you say
the things that you do

it feels so good to know two people
so in love...
so in love...

they are friends of mine
(joyce and terry)
they are friends of mine
(paul and molly)
and they've got something
(liz and brian)
it's so hard to find
(joy and david)
they are friends of mine
(kim and maggie)
they are friends of mine
(june and daffy)
and they've got something
(jean and jim)
you don't often find
(and jim and christine)

she takes your handwhen the world stays outside
that's something to see
that's nothing to hide

and when i feel bad
when people disappoint me
that's when i need you two
to help me believe

it feels so good to know two people
so in love...
so in love...

they are friends of mine
(joyce and terry)
they are friends of mine
(paul and molly)
and they've got something
(liz and brian)
it's so hard to find
(joy and david)
they are friends of mine
(kim and maggie)
they are friends of mine
(june and daffy)
and they've got something
(jean and jim)
you don't often find
(and jim and christine)

it feels so good to know two people
so in love...
so in love...

they are friends of mine
(joyce and terry)
they are friends of mine
(paul and molly)
and they've got something
(liz and brian)
it's so hard to find
(joy and david)
they are friends of mine
(kim and maggie)
they are friends of mine
(june and daffy)
and they've got something
(jean and jim)
you don't often find
(and jim and christine)

joyce and terry
paul and molly
liz and brian
joy and david
kim and maggie
june and daffy
jean and jim
and jim and christine...
