Breadfan Lyrics by Budgie

Never Turn Your Back on a Friend

1973

[Spoken Intro: Winston Churchill]
"I have never promised anything but blood, tears, toil and sweat."

[Verse 1]
Breadfan, open up your mind, open up your purse
Never, never, never gonna lose it
Breadfan, take it all away, never give an inch
Gotta make a mint, gotta make a million
Breadfan, you got it wrong
Some long-time friend gonna lose it, in the end, who is a fool?
Seagull, give it all away
Stay a bird, stay a man, stay a ghost, stay what you wanna be

[Verse 2]
Loser, give it all away
Never stay with the winner with the man with the money
Sailor, roughin' up the town
With the gal in a record on the top of
You're gonna be a bad boy
Breadfan, finger in the pie in the sky
Put a guinea on the nose of a gee gee
Come on, keep it on the side
With a ride on a throne in the middle of an island

[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Loser, give it all away
'Cause I'm never gonna stay 'cause I don't need it
Don't you feel it in your veins?
All the money in this world and I don't need it

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]
Breadfan, open up your mind, open up your purse
Never, never, never gonna lose it
Breadfan, take it all away, never give an inch
Gotta make a mint, gotta make a million
Breadfan, you got it wrong
Some long-time friend gonna lose it, in the end, who is a fool?
Seagull, give it all away
Stay a bird, stay a man, stay a ghost, stay what you wanna be

[Verse 2]
Loser, give it all away
Never stay with the winner with the man with the money
Sailor, roughin' up the town
With the gal on a record on the top of your man
Breadfan, finger in the pie in the sky
Put a guinea on the nose of a gee gee
Come on, keep it on the side
With a ride on a throne in the road in the middle of an island
