Lyrics for Mary as interpreted by Fortunatus

Mary Lyrics
Mary is my best friend
She makes me my tea
She lets me stay around her place
When there's nowhere else to be
There's nothing in her bedroom
Just a bed and a TV
And it's OK if I'm in her way
I just sit and drink my tea

I'm so lonely
I ain't done much
Lately
When you come lookin'
You'll find me
Sleeping
Soundly
Mary

Mary keeps me smilin'
Even when I'm down
She let's me stay around her place
When there's no-one else around
There's nothing in her bedroom
Just a bed and a TV
And it's OK If I'm in her way
I sit and drink my tea

I'm so lazy
I aint done much
Lately
When you come lookin'
You'll find me
Sleeping
Soundly

And when she comes around
She says I always look so down
And yeah she's always right
She makes me feel alright

i used to have a friend like this... i used to go round her house and we would just sit holding hands... sometimes in front of the TV, sometimes listening to music.... then she got a boyfriend and i couldnt go round anymore... so i spent most of my time sleeping, coz i was unemployed. listen to this song a lot.. reminds me of the good times:)

I never liked this song until I saw it live - now I fucking love it. It's so... teenage lol.

The lyrics are wrong.. Well i'm pretty sure the first line is 'Mary is my lover'?

No, it's definitely Mary is my best friend.

I don't understand why there aren't more comments on this song, it's the sex.

terrific.

he obviously cares for her a lot. and appreciates her. and she must care for him.

it doesnt sound like theyre lovers though. he kind of sounds like a free loader....but theyre good friends so hes not. i think he wants more from the relationship but mary doesnt.

its a great look at relationships.

I looooove this song.
The Subways have more than one edition of a few songs, these lyrics are right for the Mary track on the album.
This was the first song I heard them play live, but I didn't know it at the time. When I got the album and heard it, it took me back to the Molson Amphitheatre and I loved it.
But, isn't he like engaged or something to Charlotte (the bassist)?

all the crowd (half of them didnt probably didnt know who the subways were cause it was a Foos gig) were just shouting at the top of their voices

"I'm so Lazy"

o its one of my great memories

I know this guy and he has a girldfriend. Basically he sits around her flat all day not doing much. I pointed out to him that this song reminds me of him and his girlfriend and she'd already beat him to it! They're both big fans of The Subways like me and they even have With You as their song.

I'm actually starting to think that Mary is an imaginary person or some sort of drug.
"There's nothing in her bedroom
Just a bed and a TV
And it's OK If I'm in her way"
idk, I'm probably wrong. haha.

I think this could be about a social worker
Mary obviously cares a lot about her teenagers who are depressed or feeling bad about themselves so she lets them come to her when they need somewhere to stay and talk
