Hard Times

Hard Times

Millencolin
(album: Kingwood)

When you are winning,
when you are winning I´m with you.
I´m sun and springing, yeah,
sun and springings what I do.
And I´m your best friend,
I´m your best friend, I pretend,
just like a new trend.
You know this friendship will soon end.

Cause when the hard times are coming
my true colors show.
And what I give you is nothing,
I say you´re on your own.
Cause when the hard times are coming,
I´m the first to run.
So for the hard times,
you know you´re on your own.

You made a bad stroke.
You made a bad stroke you should have known,
cause I´m all for smalltalk.
If you want smalltalk then pick up the phone
and I´ll be your best friend.
Well, at least now for a little while,
but don´t go around the bend,
cause I can only stand you when you smile.

Cause when the hard times are coming
my true colors show.
And what I give you is nothing,
I say you´re on your own.
Cause when the hard times are coming,
I´m the first to run.
So for the hard times,
you know you´re on your own.
Just like a sinking stone.

A friend in need is a friend indeed
that´s what I´ve been told,
but a friend in me lacks that heart of gold.
