EVENING WITH FRIENDS
(HAVING FUN)
©Trev Teasdel Middlesbrough February 1981


When affairs wear me down
and I’m wound up in the world.
When progress is slow and tedium high
When day is done and the night begun
I like to spend the evening with friends
having fun.


When days are dark and times are hard
When news and views are bleak
When I’m all spent and owning rent
Sleeping rough in a borrowed tent.
I love to spend the evening with friends
having fun.


Making music is a warm front room
Making tea and telling tales
Having laughs that shake the walls
A smile can really tip the scales.


When hair is greasy and clothes all dirty
and you haven’t time for a cup of tea
When mind grows blank and nerves are frayed
and so much is left undone.
I like to spend the evening with friends
having fun
I like to spend the evening with friends
having fun.
