Absent Friends

THE STORY

An old Skullhead song from 1990…

I just think it’s a great song…

So many people come and go in our scene…some turn out to be proper wrong’uns….

There’s always someone willing to grass you up or sell you out for a few quid…

Disgusting behaviour…


THE LYRICS

You used to be so dedicated
A fire burned in your eyes
You used to be so proud and true
But you took me by surprise
You betrayed us all to be a junkie
Betrayed us all for fame
Now you are an outcast
And we won’t trust you again

I used to call you comrade
I used to call you friend
I trusted you, I would’ve stood by you
Until the bitter end
Now you’re just a wanker
The type we used to call
You’re an outcast, you’re pariah
Your name is known to all

To think we were the best of friends
Now all of that is gone
Tell us what we did to you?
Tell us what went wrong
To make you do just what you did
You who knew the score
Now your friends despise you
They won’t trust you no more

Now you’ve joined with many others
Who we used to class as friends
They too abused our trust
To benefit their own ends
You talk of loyalty & honour
Comradeship and trust
The words go septic on your lips
You fill me with disgust

Traitor – where will you go?
Traitor – now you’ve sunk so low
