Gilbert O'Sullivan - 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
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
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

"A lovely big strawberry production" – nice one! ^^
Absolutely beautiful! John Lennon was and still is a hero of mine. His life was filled with issues and it did feel like I lost my personal best friend.
Gilbert, you hit the nail on the mark!
Thank you!!!

This is actually excellent. Gilbert had his moment in the spotlight in the 70's with a few hits -- but, this goes to show the man had much more. Performed in a manner that is not cliche, or silly -- just sincere.
Good song
brilliant song Ray, miss you John 32 years today he left us.Thanks Mohawk3881
Can we add 'MARC BOLAN' to the list ?
Thanks Mo for this one! But I can't say that I lost a friend - I won quite a few very good friends!!! I think Ray should write an FTG song! :-)
