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
