Marc Almond - Just Good Friends

Drawing back the curtains
Sluggish city daylight in the afternoon
Here's that special silence
Just before you walk out of the hotel room
Each time we're so close I assume
That we'll never be again
Oh, how long must we pretend?

A casual affair
Was all that you could spare
From your emotional change
A calendar of greetings
Strangers on the street
The best we've ever arranged

Now I just can't stand all the pain
All the constant break and mend
Oh, how long can we pretend
That we're just good friends?
