I was going through the photographs of my younger sister that died in 2017. Then I just randomly skipped through songs on UA-cam with nothing particular in mind and somehow I ended up here. My sis was my friend. She relied on me. Asked advice from me. What was initially a stinging pain that felt like I was dying for the sense of loss is now a placid, deep, dark lake of emotions and melancholy. Miss you sis. A comment from Italy.
Such sad news. RIP Steve......a friend for life x Human Menagerie is such an amazing album......l love Sebastian. Listening to Timeless Flight got me through some difficult times.....Understand, particularly. A music legend for me that will be forever with me x
Steve Harley actually wrote this song whilst he was on a plane from Los Angeles to the UK, & said he was lazy writing it!!! I just ADORE this so much. I used to see them in the 70's, I was a teenager, Make me smile was famous at the time & loved it. xx
I saw Steve Harley yesterday in Groningen and he played this song and it was just so beautiful. The lyrics mean so much to me and the whole song is just brilliant.
Lyrics (EN): Steve Harley Friend For Life: Cregan-Harley Through a smoke-filled glass on a desperate night When the sole of my shoe lets in rain When the heart's tired of running and the milk's gone sour Will your feelings still be the same? When the match won't light so the flames don't tremble And the years are condemning us too I'll need a soul-mate to hold me and a friend for life And I'm hoping it might be you. When I think of life as a chance not taken Or as a compromise tinged with regret When the kids leave for breeding and the TV's king Will you tell me we're not done yet? Will you think of me as a distant island? Or will you come with me to the moon? I'll need a soul-mate to hold me and a friend for life And I'm hoping it might be you. Give me asylum and I'll keep the faith Keep me in coffee and so safe And I'll feed your cats and I'll paint walls And I'll be your one-night-stand. Will you come with me in the certain knowledge That the catch is there's no catch at all? I'll need a soul-mate to hold me and a friend for life And I'm hoping it might be you Yeah, I'm certain it must be you.
A superb song... Wonderful lyrics by Steve Harley. But, I have to say Rod Stewart’s voice brings the song to life for me(Another Country album)....so sentimental and beautiful !

Lyrics (EN): Steve Harley Friend For Life:
Cregan-Harley
Through a smoke-filled glass on a desperate night
When the sole of my shoe lets in rain
When the heart's tired of running and the milk's gone sour
Will your feelings still be the same?
When the match won't light so the flames don't tremble
And the years are condemning us too
I'll need a soul-mate to hold me and a friend for life
And I'm hoping it might be you.
When I think of life as a chance not taken
Or as a compromise tinged with regret
When the kids leave for breeding and the TV's king
Will you tell me we're not done yet?
Will you think of me as a distant island?
Or will you come with me to the moon?
I'll need a soul-mate to hold me and a friend for life
And I'm hoping it might be you.
Give me asylum and I'll keep the faith
Keep me in coffee and so safe
And I'll feed your cats and I'll paint walls
And I'll be your one-night-stand.
Will you come with me in the certain knowledge
That the catch is there's no catch at all?
I'll need a soul-mate to hold me and a friend for life
And I'm hoping it might be you
Yeah, I'm certain it must be you.
Comes from the heart
So beautyfull,
enjoy...
enjoy...
