about

It’s a familiar ‘first love’ story: your girlfriend and your best friend get together. Double betrayal. Confusion and pain. What could be worse than that? How about you sleeping with your best friend’s mum? Oops...

This pop/folk/rock song bounces along, with its scratchy sounds, splendidly wobbly bass playing, and skinny percussion, echoing the naive but very real feelings around this sorry situation.

lyrics

I’m hurt
I should have seen the warning signs, taken heed
I didn’t
My girlfriend’s not my girlfriend any more
It’s worse than that

She went off with my best friend
She went off with my best friend
She went off with my best friend
She went off with my best friend

It couldn’t be worse
Maybe it could
I could have lost my phone
I can’t believe they could do this to me
This only happens on the blooming TV

She went off with my best friend…

How could she do this to me?
Wait a minute...
How could my best friend do it?
We were almost blood brothers
Apart from the blood bit
But I bought him a beer

I really hurt and I don’t know what to do
I keep seeing them at college
And that’s not good for me
My studies are crumbling
My life is in disarray because of them

She went off with my best friend…

I was at my best friend’s mum and dad’s house
‘Cause they’re still friends with me
And I was crying, I was upset
And I got a bit drunk.
Anyway…
My best friend’s mum ‘comforted’ me

I got off with my best friend’s mum
I got off with my best friend’s mum
I got off with my best friend’s mum
I feel bad but it was good fun

She went off with my best friend…

It’s hard, being a human
It’s hard
Ask the bass player
He knows all about it
He should know

about

bushytunes Christmas Island

Once upon a time there was a crazy idea: to create, record and upload a musical track every day for a year. And the idea floated round and round the planet, looking for a place to call home. After a long time of searching and wishing and watching, the idea chose to make a nest in the brain of a bushy fellow, coming to his aid and guiding him out of the doldrums, back to a magical pathway... ... more
