	jo the waiter worked for me
	serving wine in basement bars
	only madmen ever stay, "got no time"
	if you're mindless please take mine

	jo the waiter held me close
	behind the door marked `gentlemen'
	just for now that's all i need
	won't someone call me `friend'

			long gone, i recall good times
				i must confess i cried

	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

	everyday i died for you
	valium boys with painted eyes
	young men need love special
	i don't think i want it at all

			long gone, i recall good times
				i must confess i cried

	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
