From: "How To Build An Empire"
Good-hearted Man
At least once in every day theyll think of you
How you were with a pint pot in your hand
At least once in every day theyll drink to you
Drink to you but never understand
Hey wait a minute, did the hours really pass so slowly
Hey wait a minute did you really feel so bad
The people gathered here are all proud to know you
Here to mark the passing of a friend and a good-hearted man
Did you even taste the pills you were popping
Did you taste the water used to wash them down
Did you stare at the light no longer frightened
And thumb your nose at those who let you down
Hey wait a minute, did the hours really pass so slowly
Hey wait a minute did you really feel so bad
The people gathered here are all proud to know you
Here to mark the passing of a friend and a good-hearted man
Leave the telephone to ring unanswered
Leave the car unlocked upon the road
You never had the nerve that life demanded
Leave your friends to live on on their own
Hey wait a minute, did the hours really pass so slowly
Hey wait a minute did you really feel so bad
The people gathered here are all proud to know you
Here to mark the passing of a friend and a good-hearted man
If heaven is the place they cant get at you
Hell must be this life down on this earth
Do you look down at this place now feeling stupid
Do you realise what it all was worth
Hey wait a minute, did the hours really pass so slowly
Hey wait a minute did you really feel so bad
The people gathered here are all proud to know you
Here to mark the passing of a friend and a good-hearted man
