Gilbert O`sullivan Lost A Friend Lyrics

Lost A Friend Lyrics

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
