[Verse 1]
Jo the waiter worked for me
Serving wine in basement bars
Only mad men ever stay, "got no time"
If you're mindless, please take mine
Jo the waiter held me close
Behind the door marked "gentleman"
But just for now, that's all I need
Won't someone call me friend?

[Chorus]
Long gone, I recall good times
I must confess
I cried

[Verse 2]
We burned out and the line went dead
At six o'clock, I felt so alone
I crawled inside, "Where else to go?"
I could be dead for all you know
Every day, I died for you
Valium boys with painted eyes
Young man need love special
I don't think I want it at all

[Chorus]
Long gone, I recall good times
I must confess
I cried
[Verse 3]
Me, I've retired to a back street flat
Picture "eyes in a cold steel frame"
The freaks arrive, broken needles and blood
"What you on, man, to get those eyes?"
It's very touching, I'm so close to me
False smiles I've rehearsed for days
Come inside, you won't know I'm wrong
Give me your heart, I'm so quickly gone
