Hi guys,

This is my first post so please be gentle! I was just wondering if anyone could explain to my the meaning of a lyric in "Just Friends"...

The lyric is "Not in the morning, where your shit works."

Is it a drug reference or a person or... Am I just being really slow? I so wish I could just speak to Amy :( x

It's "when your shit works", and I think by shit she means dick/morning glory :-P Never thought about it much, but I think that's it.

Lol I think that's one of the funniest lines in that song. I love that Amy is so raw and explicit in her lyrics but in the sense that she's just so open and vulnerable; not in a coarse, vulgar way :)

I always assumed it was something to do with a hangover or comedown, but this makes a lot more sense! Totally changed the way I'll look at this bit of the song now.. thanks!

^ It's definitely "works", not "words", otherwise it wouldn't really make sense. :) Unless it was "you shit words", maybe, but it's definitely "your".

I've always wondered about this line - personally, I sometimes thought it's "when your shift works" (i.e. when you go to work) but I don't suppose that makes any sense either... Sticking with Elsie's explanation - "It's never safe for us ... when your shit works", because sex happens - makes perfect sense!

I always took the line "Not in the evening when I've been drinking, not in the morning, when your shit works" as, she drinks in the evening and they argue, she's said she was a "dick" sometimes when she drinks, and "your shit" meaning his drugs. Drugs work "best" in the morning, when it's your "first hit" of the day.

I was thinking the same thing, and i think when she says "can we be alone" she means not only without ppl, she means with no alcohol and dtugs, just them with no substance influence s..

you should have catched it while it was close,
you should have touched it when it was yours,
you should have trust it cause it was worth,
you should have saved it, now its lost.

I'm >99% sure Elsie is right on this one. As much as I hate to admit it...I knew what Amy was talking about immediately because I've been there before (and I love how she just puts it out there in this tune).
