lyrics

I'm digging for what my shovel can't find.
looked up, red sun, wipe my brow
sweating out all that ails.

a lonely man once caught a fish,
and through his hunger pains never ate it.
cause everyone wants a friend.
yeah, everyone needs a friend.

waiting by the bank, she never gets a bite
she paints her face while she waits,
preparation can help.

a lovely girl once hooked a guy,
and through all the abuse just smiled.
cause everyone wants a friend.
everyone needs a friend.

someone to talk to
someone to help pull you through.

everyone wants a friend,
everyone needs a friend.

about

Ben Hughes New Jersey

"...channels musicians like Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes, and Sufjan Stevens, as on Hughes’ previous releases. But this record immediately calls to mind Pedro the Lion’s Control, with its deep-voiced chords and melodies, lyrical themes of corporate hell, and Hughes’ slurring voice. It could stand as a complimentary album to Control just as well as it stands on its own."
