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
