Divine Comedy, The - Absent Friends Lyrics
Absent friends, here's to them
And happy days, we thought that they would never end
Here's to absent friends
Little Jean Seberg seemed
Poor little Jean
Woodbine Willie couldn't rest until he'd
Given every bloke a final smoke before the killing
Old Woodbine Willie
Steve McQueen jumped the first one clean
But the great escape he'd tried to make was not to be
Maybe next time Steve
'Til Laika neared the atmosphere and Laika knew
Laika's life was through
Oscar Wilde was a lonely child
He fought and won acceptance from the world
They smiled, they laughed, they praised
They drove poor Oscar to his grave
Absent friends, here's to them
And happy days, we thought that they would never end
But they always end
Raise your glasses then to absent friends

Nothing like little britain idiot
Are my ears deceiving me or do I hear a car driving off in the background ?.
Think you will find it's a motor bike from great escape
@craig Griffiths all wrong im afraid its a sample from the opening of Kraftwerks Autobahn without any doubt, but i aint got a clue why it was used
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iukUMRlaBBE
@robert collister if you watch the film he jumps the fence but not the second as the words in the song it was a triumph tr6
@craig Griffiths i know the lyrics and the meaning but if your referring to the motor noise its a sample from autobahn thats being used for some reason. massive kraftwerk fan as well as divine comedy. Neil also liked kraftwerk he did a cover of one of their songs on the b side of national
classic divine comedy
