Lost A Friend |
|
When you read about somebody special |
|
who has met an untimely end |
|
although you didn't even know them personally |
|
feels like you've lost a friend |
|
And to all the cynics who think Lennon |
|
only cared about what he could spend |
|
I say to hell with your money fixations |
|
feels like we've lost a friend |
|
And when I die as I must do |
|
I know it's an awful thing to talk about |
|
and I'd give anything for it never to be true |
|
what a way to make a living digging graves |
|
still you'd never need to fear being made redundant that way |
|
And for those of you who think that Presley |
|
only cared about what he could spend |
|
remember that without him might have been no Lennon |
|
feels like we've lost a friend |
|
And when I die as I must do |
|
know it's an awful thing to talk about |
|
and I'd give anything for it never to be true |
|
if it's any consolation money buys |
|
only material things no way can it extend your life |
|
When you read about somebody special |
|
who has met an untimely end |
|
Although you didn't even know them personally |
|
feels like you've lost a friend |
