lyrics

She was never very far from the bottom of the deepest darkest well you could think of

No family job or car the forgotten underclass give em hell have a drink of

Anything, yeah anything

If she’d been married she’d pawn her wedding ring

Cocaine spilled across the children’s bed linen

Can’t escape the past she helped it settle in/

My friend Evelyn we shared everything

So I knew the secrets and the skeletons

When she talks about herself she’s editing

Off her head again high on ketamine/

Trying a keep it under wraps like Bedouins

It’s Pretty genuine she let the devil in a stream of fellas been giving her medicine Pedalling selling things to all the residents/

She’ll forgive him soon it’s irrelevant

In her living room there’s an elephant

And you can’t outrun or get ahead of it

Whether silver spoon or raised on benefits/

Climbing up that long stairway to Heaven when

They shot her full of Lead now she’s a Zeppelin

Flying high on massive lows to buy a plastic soul out on these battered roads a veteran/ tell em

(Hook)

One time, it’s alright

Two times, sick and tired

Three times, you decide

Good intentions never realised

Come on my friend we’ll endeavour together I tell ya forget it you never remember

Them two little kids need a extra protector

Cause all of this shit will upset them forever/

Your sofa ain’t leather that cheese isn’t cheddar they come home from school and you feed them fruitella

There’s no silver lining you need an umbrella

Or you’re gonna drown in the deepest of weather/

I mentioned the things that I needed to tell her and Evelyn cried and agreed to do better

No thieving like beggars don’t need the vendettas

Receiving them letters from evil inspectors/

She promised again and again and again I

Could tell that she meant it I sighed and relented

Even as she spiralled she tried to prevent it

Goodbye good intentions denied and repented/

Addictions a circle a cycle cemented

The last time I saw her her mind was demented

I never could judge her alright cause I get it

But she lost it all I’ll remind ya I said it like/

Hook

Whatever happened to my friend Evelyn

I never heard from her again where’s she been

So get in touch and you can tell everything

I really hope you got the help Evelyn,

For your kids and for yourself Evelyn

I know that life ain’t really fair Evelyn

I’m sorry that I wasn’t there Evelyn

But it don’t mean I didn’t care Evelyn

{Hold on, don’t go

(She said)

Hold on, don’t go

(They said)

Hold on, don’t go

But you said you would stop now you say I don’t know}
