    the moral of the story is that you must keep your enemies closer, even if they are clowns.

    There's light at the end of the tunnel
    There's fight at the heart of a struggle
    You're smile should've told me you're trouble
    No more, no more, no more
    You owned me You buried all my worth with a shovel
    You're smile should've told me you're trouble
    No more, no more, no more
    No more goodbyes
    So so long
    So so long
    So so long
    Now
    No more white lies
    You used to be the one true thing in my world
    You told me that you loved me
    You're in love with yourself
    Shoulda listen to my mother
    You messed around the others
    Now you're dead to me
    I've been sleeping with the enemy
    Should keep your best friends close by
    Should keep your best friends close by
    You should keep your best friends close by
    But keep your enemies closer
    But keep your enemies closer
    So many evil talents you juggled
    It's fair to say you didn't act subtle
    Your smile should've told me you're trouble
    No more, no more, no more
    Came crashing down I'm staring at rubble
    They need to send you into space in a shuttle
    Your smile should've told me you're trouble
    No more, no more, no more
    No more goodbyes
    So so long
    So so long
    So so long
    Now
    No more white lies
    You used to be the one true thing in my world
    You told me that you loved me
    You're in love with yourself
    Shoulda listen to my mother
    You messed around the others
    Now you're dead to me
    I've been sleeping with the enemy
    Should keep your best friends close by
    Should keep your best friends close by
    You should keep your best friends close by
    But keep your enemies closer
    But keep your enemies closer
    Strange and deranged
    Seek fame was the name of the game
    Defeat rivals Abel and Kane
    Get trophies they'll look great in a frame
    What would you have done, take all the blame?
    With your hands held firm over naked flames
    Being grilled now you're shaking again
    Faking the pain, dark visions of Satan
    Contemplating, talking man to man
    She was a girl on film Duran Duran
    She called me her ape man orang-utan
    Me Tarzan, she Jane
    Take all the blame I'm the bloke in the chorus
    We were sweet once everybody saw us
    I ain't flawless still unsure
    I loved us but I loved me more
    You used to be the one true thing in my world
    You told me that you loved me
    You're in love with yourself
    Shoulda listen to my mother
    You messed around the others
    Now you're dead to me
    I've been sleeping with the enemy
    Should keep your best friends close by
    Should keep your best friends close by
    You should keep your best friends close by
    But keep your enemies closer
    But keep your enemies closer

Don't mean to sound patronising kid, but I don't see the problem in 'play' relationships at that age. I know people who were together at 13/14 and now they're married. On a more important note, LOVE Example, keep up the good work Elliot!!

    No offece bro but,everyone has their own taste in music. If you do not like it,doesn't mean you have to offend someone else. One Direction's&The Wanted's music is good too,you just don't understand the message. Not a big fan of them but.. just sayin'.. And why the fuck are you talking about One Direction on an Example video? Just enjoy the music and shut up.

  • @3ndlessL00p
    @3ndlessL00p 11 лет назад

    I actually LIKE this video so bugger off. Yeah the clown seems misplaced, but for me thats mostly because I don't fear clowns. I think the videos meant to be scary because the moment when you lose someone you love and realize how bad a person they really are, that moment is scary.

    No, atheists don't troll. We respect most Christians. Some of the beliefs are vile (homosexuality, treatment of women etc.) but for the most, Christians are good people, spurred on to do good by a belief system. It's admirable.

    Dude, with gangam style it's not about quality, it's like everything else: just a trend. And it's one song. And you're just proving my point: too many views doesn't mean that song is good. I love Example and i think he's getting enough attention :)

    Gangnam Style has 1.7 BILLION, and although I like it, it is not that amazing, a fair few of Examples songs are better, most songs he has should have 20m+ views

    God this did not get the publicity it deserved, 37th and hasn't even got a million views, makes you think about the kind of bs that people like these days...
