I never see you anymore, you’re absent without leave
In life I learned a lot of things
And what it brings to ya
And how it’s good to be alone sometimes
I should have know you’d get an itch
And you would switch on me
And run away when day turns into night
‘Cos you’re a…
Good time sister
Always out for something better
Just when I need a friend you’re…
Absent without leave
Good time brother
Called you friend when I knew better
Ain’t got no time to spend you’re…
Absent witout leave
So many people that I’ve found say they’re down wit ya
Then like a ship they sail on with the breeze
See, in the sun they get a touch, but it’s too much for ’em
They fall around you like the winter leaves
A little rain and they would run for cover
(I can stil remember)
When no-one else could see the need to shelter
(How can I forget?)
Knowing better times are round the corner
(Oh I can still remember)
So now when summer skies turn into grey, here’s what I say…
Good time sister
Always out for something better
Just when I need a friend you’re…
Absent without leave
Good time brother
Called you friend when I knew better
Ain’t got no time to spend you’re…
Absent witout leave
Good time sister
Always out for something better
Just when I need a friend you’re…
Absent without leave
Good time brother
Called you friend when I knew better
Ain’t got no time to spend you’re…
Absent witout leave
II never hear, I never see you (I never hear)
I never hear, I never see you no more
I never hear, I never see you (I never hear)
I never hear, I never see you no more
II never hear, I never see you (I never hear)
I never hear, I never see you no more
I never hear, I never see you (I never hear)
I never hear, I never see you no more
Good time sister
Always out for something better
Just when I need a friend you’re…
Absent without leave
Good time brother
Called you friend when I knew better
Ain’t got no time to spend you’re…
Absent witout leave
Good time sister
Always out for something better (absent… summer brother)
Just when I need a friend you’re…
Absent without leave
Good time brother
Called you friend when I knew better
Ain’t got no time to spend you’re…
Absent witout leave
Good time sister
Always out for something better
Just when I need a friend you’re…(yeah ain’t got no time to spend you’re)
Absent without leave
Good time brother
Called you friend when I knew better
Just when my sky falls in you’re…
Absent witout leave
