Hi Arvin! Thanks for hosting! So... what is it that friends do? I gather that one thing they do is stay up late talking and drinking and smoking unlikely things and so on until the police come and spoil their fun and arrest them. At least, that's what happens in this classic from Lindisfarne. Supposedly based on a true story (surely not!).
It was something of an anthem and a big part of their live shows with a lot of audience participation. I can't manage a crowd of revellers at Newcastle City Hall, but I do have The Steamers to add a bit of backing vocals. Also I have a live recording of this where Ray Jackson does about 5 minutes of harmonica improvisation in the middle. Don't worry, I'm not going to do that to you.
The closest I have come to something like this was when, as an undergraduate, a couple of us were up late rewriting the lyrics to "American Pie" based on some events that were happening at the time and the night porter thought we were making too much of a racket. Oops. Sorry. The typical penalty for this was to receive a piece of paper saying "Please don't do that" or words to that effect.
I hope everyone is doing well ~
