" ...only to be rediscovered some years hence and acclaimed as a flawed but magnificent work of genius long after I have succumbed to a tragic, unrecognised and untimely death."

From: "How To Build An Empire"

Good-hearted Man

At least once in every day they’ll think of you
How you were with a pint pot in your hand
At least once in every day they’ll 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 can’t 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
