Ray Davies & The Crouch End Festival Chorus See My Friends lyrics

See my friends, see my friends
Playin' across the river
See my friends, see my friends
Playin' across the river

She is gone, she is gone
And now there's no one, she's gone
Except my friends, playin' across the river

She just went, she just went
Went across the river
Now she's gone, now she's gone
Wish that I'd gone with her

She is gone, she is gone
And now there's no one there
Except my friends, playin' across the river

She is gone and now there's no one else
To take her place
She is gone and now there's no one else around
Except my friends, playin' across the river

See my friends, see my friends
Playin' across the river
See my friends, see my friends
Playin' across the river


Everybody's a dreamer
And everybody's a star
And everybody's in movies
It doesn't matter who you are

There are stars in every city
In every house and on every street
And if you walk down Hollywood boulevard
Their names are written in concrete

Don't tread on Greta Garbo
As you walk down the Boulevard
She looks so weak and fragile
That's why she tried to be so hard

But they turned her into a princess
And they sat her on a throne
But she turned her back on stardom
Because she wanted to be alone

But you can see all the stars
As you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Some that you recognize
Some that you've hardly even heard of
