Now Martin’s Gone
Martin's gone...
Martin's gone
Things will never be the same again
Now Martin's gone
I told my mother and the boy next door
The girl at the garage and my brother in law
I talked to the doctor and I told my boss
The launderette lady and the corner shop
I told the postman, then I told a gag
I told Claire Rayner and the local rag
I told the barmaid and the landlord too
I told everybody in the world I knew
Martin's gone... Martin's gone
Things will never be the same again
Now Martin's gone
I told our father and my favourite guys
Ten Hail Marys and a few white lies
I told the Samaritans, I told my dog
I talked to the telly and the talking clock...
Back on the wagon when the nights are dark
I drive by the diner where I made my mark
Martin's gone... Martin's gone
Things will never be the same again
Now Martin's gone
