More to the point, it's a rubbish alibi if the other fella's not going to corroborate it.
I see what you're saying, easier to get a mate to lie in court if he says you were both watching telly that night, but backdoor shennanigans in the field
'Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing
But different than the day before'
'Met a dwarf that was no good, dressed like Little Red Riding Hood'
'Now you're unemployed, all non-void
Walkin' round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd'

Exactly. He's pitched it far too high. He could have said 'we were playing videogames/taking heroin/whatever, but instead he went for sodomy and - not surprisingly - his mate's drawn the line there.
