Absent Friends (con The Divine Comedy) |
Absent friends, here’s to them |
And happy days, we thought that they would never end |
Here’s to absent friends |
Little Jean Seberg seemed |
So full of life, but in those eyes such troubled dreams |
Poor little Jean |
Woodbine Willie couldn’t rest until he’d |
Given every bloke a final smoke before the killing |
Old Woodbine Willie |
Steve McQueen jumped the first one clean |
But the great escape he’d tried to make was not to be |
Maybe next time Steve |
Laika flew through inky blue |
'Til Laika neared the atmosphere and Laika knew |
Laika’s life was through |
Oscar Wilde was a lonely child |
He fought and won acceptance from the world |
They smiled, they laughed, they praised |
They drove poor Oscar to his grave |
Absent friends, here’s to them |
And happy days, we thought that they would never end |
But they always end |
Raise your glasses then to absent friends |
