Song detail

A song about 'negative friendship'. It's essentially me and my guitar...

Lyrics (Al Stravinsky)
You're the hammer I'm a nail,
I'm no good without you;
I'm so calm and you're a sail,
Praying I will change.

You're the harpoon I'm the whale,
Wasted when you miss me;
We are all these things and more -
You're the knocker, I'm the door.

Hey! Neil Armstrong, I'm the moon -
Put your boot in my face;
Uri Geller! I'm a spoon -
Bend me, break me, break me...

I'm a tooth and you're the plaque,
You're the thumb and I'm the tack,
You're US and I'm Iraq:
I defend while you attack...

You're so good, you're so good at making me feel bad,
You're the worst best, best worst friend I ever had.
We'll have played this game a million years -
This bitter, sad jihad,
You're the worst best, best worst friend...

Someone dropped you on your head
And broke your window on the world
You patched it up with vitriol
And other things, unsuitable
But it's twisted, somehow twisted

You're Neil Armstrong, I'm the moon -
Put your boot in my face;
Yuri Gagarin, I'm a baboon -
But still the first man in Myspace

You're the cross on which I fail,
You're the black hole in my pail,
Simon Templar's Holy grail,
You're the hammer, I'm the nail...

Oh, you're so good, you're so good at making me feel bad,
You're the worst best, best worst friend I ever had.
We'll have played this game a million years -
This bitter, sad jihad,
And you're the worst best, best worst friend I ever had...

2008.02.21 mhmproductions	Sometimes when we find ourselves feeling as if we can't keep writing something comes along and gets us back in the mood. Al this is one of those tunes and it got me inspired to get busy again. Thank you and great work here! "Hey! Neil Armstrong, I'm the moon - Put your boot in my face; Uri Geller! I'm a spoon - Bend me, break me, break me..." I got to see the lunar eclips tonight and somehow it seems fitting I had the chance to hear this tune and to hear from you this day. Bravo ~mhm
2007.10.05 Cameron	recording is as clean as a whistle. Wow Al, you went low on the vocals in this one and it is really a sexy change, then you go way high..wow Lyrics are really special. It is so nice to hear from you again. powerful song. Cameron
