Took a look around your room But I can’t see a space on the floor Where am I supposed to sleep ‘Cause I can’t stay awake any more Only known you half an evening Give me rest and I’ll be feeling fine Destination far away And it’s only a matter of time All your famous honesty Makes it harder to tell you a lie Rather be your friend than lover Can’t we sort this out some other time? Would I give you foreign money? Would I send you empty letters? Would I give you dying flowers now? Written by William Jones Published by Summerhouse Music Ltd

You Can Do 02:45
There you are, a picture in the sand There am I, a hundred miles between my hands The best days of our lives Are when we don’t know who we are You and I, or that it would have been so hard Keeping hold, down this long narrow road Never even knowing that we had it all the time Searching for a meaning that we didn’t need to find Say doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo And you can do what you can dream that you can do And you can do what you can dream that you can do Reaching for our feelings when the words are hard to say The chance of losing needn’t stop me trying anyway Say doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo And you can do what you can dream that you can do And you can do what you can dream that you can do Written by William Jones Published by Summerhouse Music Ltd

about

Friends' fourth single, the 7" Foreign Money, was released from the Sundrowned album, and is backed by an acoustic number You Can Do which is unavailable elsewhere. The A-side is a classic Friends pop blast with an irresistible brass-driven riff which grows and grows, the B-side a throwaway guitar/voice/percussion song with doo-doo-doo chorus which was recorded with the Folk Songs set.
