Tony Was a Friend of Mine
Tony was a friend of mine, and he looked after me
He used to live in the western 'burbs in the late 1980's
Tony wanted to be known, he wanted to be seen
We grew up strong, he grew up hard
When times were tough and lean
Tony was a friend of mine, he did favours for free
He ruled the streets with an iron fist, he showed no mercy
One night he got taken out, he lost his liberties
He never did what he was told, you gotta know your enemies
Me and Tony had not much, but we were young you see
In western Brisbane times were hard, you got nothing for free
Tony was a daunting man, 6 foot 3
I still remember telling him, you've got to know your enemies
Tony was a friend of mine, and he looked after me
He ruled the streets with an iron fist, he showed no mercy
One night he got taken out, he lost his liberties
He never did what he was told, you gotta know your enemies
He used to live in the western 'burbs in the late 1980's
Tony wanted to be known, he wanted to be seen
We grew up strong, he grew up hard
When times were tough and lean
Tony was a friend of mine, he did favours for free
He ruled the streets with an iron fist, he showed no mercy
One night he got taken out, he lost his liberties
He never did what he was told, you gotta know your enemies
Me and Tony had not much, but we were young you see
In western Brisbane times were hard, you got nothing for free
Tony was a daunting man, 6 foot 3
I still remember telling him, you've got to know your enemies
Tony was a friend of mine, and he looked after me
He ruled the streets with an iron fist, he showed no mercy
One night he got taken out, he lost his liberties
He never did what he was told, you gotta know your enemies
