Good time sister
Always out for something better
Just when I need a friend you're...
Absent without leave
Good time brother
Called you friend when I knew better
Ain't got no time to spend you're...
Absent witout leave
So many people that I've found say they're down wit ya

(I can stil remember)
When no-one else could see the need to shelter
(How can I forget?)
Knowing better times are round the corner
(Oh I can still remember)
So now when summer skies turn into grey, here's what I say...

Ain't got no time to spend you're...
