Elsie Friend Lyrics by William The Conqueror

Excuse Me While I Vanish

2023

[Verse 1]
Elsie Friend, alive in 1961
The daughter of an only son
It’s not all about her
It’s not all about her
Caroline
Lazuli eyes and copper tones
An empty world of sticks and stones
It could be about her
It could be about her
[Chorus]
It gets me every time
It gets me every time
Yeah, it gets me every time
A slip of the tongue
[Verse 2]
Mother’s bloom
Father’s loose fit vagabond
The brothers welcomed from beyond
That could be the problem
But it’s not all about them
Say the word
Eastern lights around the bend
Colliding with young Elsie friend
It should be about her
But it can’t be about her
[Chorus]
It gets me every time
It gets me every time
Yeah, it gets me every time
A slip of the tongue
[Verse 3]
Elsie Friend, eternal are my sympathies
The wrong side of the seventies
It isn’t about you
It isn’t about you
Skip the train
Come meet me in cathedral square
Caroline’s carnelian hair
It isn’t about her
It was never about her
[Chorus]
It gets me every time
It gets me every time
Yeah, it gets me every time
A slip of the tongue
It gets me every time
It gets me every time
Yeah, it gets me every time
A slip of the tongue
