My Best Friend

What would you do -
If you noticed your best friend
Getting pissed every weekend
And every weeknight
Would you say he needs help
Or would you join in the cliche
Or would you hope that it goes away
Far out of sight

I for one want it to stay
It helps me to live another day
It help keeps the pain away
It helps me to see
I dont even have to try
Cos I'm happy when I'm D.U.I.
But the people don't realise
My best friend is me

It's no cry for help
This shows I'm okey by my self
And my escapism lacks any stealth
But theres nothing to say
I'll just be me
Life is fast when theres nothing to be
Alcohol alters what I see
And it's influence I obey

I for one want it to stay
It helps me to live another day
It help keeps the pain away
It helps me to see
I dont even have to try
Cos I'm happy when I'm D.U.I.
But the people don't realise
My best friend is me

[chorus again with lead]
I for one want it to stay
It helps me to live another day
It help keeps the pain away
It helps me to see
I dont even have to try
Cos I'm happy when I'm D.U.I.
But the people don't realise
My best friend is me

The only thing I could see was a possible interpretation with the word "pissed." Over here in the States that generally means angry. I know you mean drunk as a skunk, but someone that does know that might interpret it differently. The rest of the tone of the piece sounds like a mellow thoughtful drunk and not an angry drunk so I wonder if that word could be an issue. Of course, if one is just singing the words and not getting into the lyric literally then it probably doesn't matter much.

I liked that you made it look like it was another person before you said it was the "me" in the piece.

I thought this had a really good rhythm and all around structure. It could have a hiphop feel to it or go punk or whatever you want. Very versitile.
