Big Friend Lyrics

Mmm Oh Yeah

It seemed like a joke at first

A 10 foot teddy bear

More fluff than possible

Seams at bursting point

Eyes the size of hubcaps

Its fur a duvet

Wanting nothing but to buffer them

Through the night

What were they going to do with it

Squeezed through the door

They cleared a corner in the front room

So they could still watch T.V.

Forgoing the armchair

They sat cross-legged on its crossed legs

Drank their tea and nestled

Into the belly

They ignored the whole world

Finding in the other a place to rest

Hearing a heartbeat

Head against a chest

They watched horrors until morning

And cuddled as Wolfman howled

And the creature reached for their throats

They fell asleep

In each other's arms

As Dracula's eyes turned red

Next day, they needed milk

But how could the leave it behind

They held its paw, scrunched up an edge

And stepped out

And for the first time

In a long time, felt unafraid

Cushioned against a sharp world

They ignored the whole world

Finding in the other a place to rest

Hearing a heartbeat

Head against a chest

But nothing lasts forever

Round the bend they saw the tear

The trailing thread

And emptied head

Pleading through loose eyes

They hugged and whispered

As white tumbleweeds

Rolled down the road

They ignored the whole world

Finding in the other a place to rest

Hearing a heartbeat

Head against a chest

They ignored the whole world

Finding in the other a place to rest

Hearing a heartbeat

Head against a chest

Mmm Oh Yeah

Mmm Oh Yeah
