The Blind Leading the Blind 🎶

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

We met on a bus, first day of uni life,

Neither of us knew if we were doing it right!

"Is this going to Carnatic Hall?" she said to me,

I said, "I hope so"—twenty-one years, can you believe?

First year drunk, she fell into the pond outside the bar,

Took her to the hospital, both of us bizarre!

"The blind leading the blind," that's what they said,

I was just as drunk, stumbling ahead!

She needed crutches for a few weeks, we brought her food,

Then one day forgot them—she was totally good!

Said she only drank champagne back in London town,

But soon she was drinking beer, vodbulls going down!

THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND!

SOPHIE AND LIV, ONE OF A KIND!

CARNATIC HALLS TO LIVERPOOL NIGHTS!

TWENTY-ONE YEARS OF DRUNKEN FIGHTS!

THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND!

ARCHITECTURE DREAMS WE LEFT BEHIND!

MADRID, AMSTERDAM, WE'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE!

FORTY YEARS OF SOPHIE—BEYOND COMPARE!

Walked home from the pub one Liverpool night,

She randomly knocked on a door—we ran in fright!

Fell over in the street, chaos all around,

That's the Sophie magic we've always found!

Madrid trip, she said she spoke Spanish so well,

Ordered cheap drinks—alcohol-free, what the hell!

Only realized after we'd drunk them all,

That's Sophie, standing tall!

Fight with Ed, our neighbor, about the kitchen light,

She spent an hour turning it on and off all night!

Just to wind him up, that's the friend I know,

Fearlessly loyal with an infectious glow!

THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND!

SOPHIE AND LIV, ONE OF A KIND!

CARNATIC HALLS TO LIVERPOOL NIGHTS!

TWENTY-ONE YEARS OF DRUNKEN FIGHTS!

THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND!

ARCHITECTURE DREAMS WE LEFT BEHIND!

MADRID, AMSTERDAM, WE'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE!

FORTY YEARS OF SOPHIE—BEYOND COMPARE!

Joined a gym together, spent time in the jacuzzi heat!

Went on a run, turned around—she's walking down the street!

Talking on the phone, not running at all,

That's my Sophie, answering the call!

Amsterdam karaoke, "Total Eclipse" we sang so loud!

Gilmore Girls theme tune, we knew every word, so proud!

Friday nights from work, straight to the pub we'd go,

Living in Liverpool, putting on a show!

Watched all the soaps, one after another each day,

Neighbors, Home and Away, Hollyoaks—our TV way!

Emmerdale, Coronation Street, EastEnders too,

Broken TV with egg heads, but we watched it through!

She called me "Ladyboy"—tomboy and ladylike combined,

Super creative, infectious laugh, one of a kind!

Not caring about impressions, that's what she does,

Fearlessly loyal, that's just because!

THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND!

SOPHIE AND LIV, ONE OF A KIND!

CARNATIC HALLS TO LIVERPOOL NIGHTS!

TWENTY-ONE YEARS OF DRUNKEN FIGHTS!

THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND!

ARCHITECTURE DREAMS WE LEFT BEHIND!

MADRID, AMSTERDAM, WE'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE!

FORTY YEARS OF SOPHIE—BEYOND COMPARE!

So fun, infectious laugh, doesn't care at all!

But fearlessly loyal, answering the call!

Twenty-one years since that bus ride, my friend,

Our story continues—no beginning, no end!

Happy 40th, Sophie, partner in crime!

The blind leading the blind through all of time!

From Carnatic Halls to wherever we roam!

Sophie and Liv—you're my home!

THE BLIND! LEADING! THE BLIND!

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!
