Filmed on location in Wales, and Hard Lines Coffee, Canton Cardiff. Lyrics: Though I can’t promise you, Every hour of every day, I need to feed the kids, And take them to the park to play, They say it’s impossible, To be everything to everyone, All I can say Is that, I’ll have your back for your panic attacks. And though I’m a bad friend, Yes - I’ve been a really slack bad friend, Just know I’m well meaning, And I’ll be there at the end, Oh, Yes I’m a bad friend, But maybe bad friends are still friends, Just know you’re a good friend, And that I’ll be there at the end. Though it’s a struggle when, you can’t take everyone away, on a caravan holiday, To the western edge of Wales, Just know it was raining, And the beer was warm and the chips were wet, and you were missed A lot, and we took selfies in your name. And though I’m a bad friend, Yes - I’ve been a really slack bad friend, Just know I’m well meaning, And I’ll be there at the end, Oh, Yes I’m a bad friend, But maybe bad friends are still friends, And better than an enemy, And I will be there at the end. All those good times that we shared upon the road, All those struggles disappear, All those troubles in the World in relief, Given friendship, never shiver. You know I’m as reliable As asking a seal to deliver the post Or a random Pokémon to remember the number of your phone, And though I’m a bad friend, Yes I’m a really, really bad friend, Just know I’m well meaning, And I’m still here at the end. #gruffrhys #sadnesssetsmefree
