You used to be my confidante
My underneath the staircase friend
But I fell out of love with you
And brought our romance to an end
I played with you throughout the day
And told you every secret thought
Unlike my other so-called friends
You stood beside me as I fought
In your reflected glory I
Could dream of shining far off lands
Where serpents turn to bits of string
And played like kittens in my hand
In our imaginary world
Where bu*terflies wear army boots
And stomp around the forest chanting
Long lost anthems
Long lost anthems
You used to be my confidante
My underneath the staircase friend
But I fell out of love with you
And brought our romance to an end
I played with you throughout the day
And told you every secret thought
Unlike my other so-called friends
You stood beside me as I fought
You stood beside me as I fought
You used to be my confidante
