They're pressing up the records
'cos they know that he's not well
They've got the factory
Working through the weekend
But they won't announce the news
Until they've got sufficient stock
To ship to make quite sure that it
Goes straight in at number one
Now they're all gone you say
They were your best friends

He's writing his review
'cos he hasn't heard the news
And he doesn't understand
The significance of what he's doing
How it's time to re-assess
How it's time to change his views
Oh you can't change the past
But you can change your memories
You can change what's written down

Now they're all gone you say
They were your best friends
And i hate you
For trying to keep us apart

And in the end you could see
In his face that marvin knew
The bottom line of tammi's death
And you say
They were your best friends
And i hate you
For trying to keep us apart
