The Shortest Distance Between Two Points Is a Straight Line Songtext
von Simon Joyner

Baby doesn′t love you anymore
And I your friend have also reconsidered
I made her feel far more
Hey, what are friends for?

If you need to see either of us
Call this unlisted number
If you need to see either of us
Call first

Starvation is not the way to kick
Besides, you could never make that diet stick
So go paint the town red
Find yourself a sterile bed
But please just don't surprise us


And if you find you need a friend
You can reach us any time at all
By telephone

So, did you get our Christmas card?
We hope you had a good one, we went abroad
We saw the leaning tower
I swear man, it′s about to topple over
Saw a statue that reminded us
Of you, somewhere in Europe

And if you feel like stopping by sometime
That's alright, just give us a ring

The light bulb above your head has burned out
Hope that doesn't mean you′re uninspired
All your bright ideas are
Now suffering in the dark
She′s the tar and I'm the feather in your cap
I′m afraid we're both a bit under the weather right now


But if you can think of anything else
You might need, feel free to call
