Colin Hay - Me And My Imaginary Friend

Hay was born in Scotland, but moved to Australia at the age of fourteen with his family. In 1978, Hay met Ron Strykert and the men began playing acoustic music as a duo. Soon after, Hay and Strykert formed the band Men at Work, adding Jerry Speiser (percussion), John Rees (bassist) and Greg Ham (flautist/saxophonist). The group released their debut album Business as Usual in 1981. Lyrics ; You never sleep, and you never go home My secrets you keep, I’m never alone We’re joined at the hip and this I comprehend We’ll be together ’til the end, me and my imaginary friend You never tell me, what I have to do We can sit in silence, or visit the zoo We know what is real, and what is pretend Together ’till the bitter end, me and my imaginary friend You don’t have to pay an arm and a leg Conjure them up inside your own head Short and tall, fat or thin Open the door, invite them in Hello how are you, how you been?
