Manchester morning, Picadilly calling

I ask myself what is it to be free

Free from sorrow, love's tomorrow

Oh if I had a key how different it could be.



We didn't have much money then

But we were brave, we'd take each day

And danger with a smile

Well we couldn't see finality in our golden mile.



And now we're just good friends

Ooh and friends are things that ought to last forever

Yeah we're just good friends

But I don't see you no more

You don't even call

What kind of strange friendship is this



One xxxxx evening when you'd were leaving

Fly fly away my bird, fly off to find your son

Soon come tomorrow, soon come the sorrow

If you'd just stay for once, how different it would go



I thought I saw you at the station today

So you panicked and run, oh run you silly boy

Run away, like the bird that got stuck in the skylight

He can see it but he'll never reach the sky



And now we're just good friends

Ooh and friends are things that ought to last forever

Yeah we're just good friends

But I don't see you no more

You don't even call

What kind of strange friendship is this



We used to be so different you and me

We were lovers, and that's a fact

And now I see, there's distance between you and me

And I can't seem to face the fact



Now that we're just good friends

Ooh and friends are things that

Ought to last forever

Yeah we're just good friends

But I don't see you no more

You don't even call

What kind of strange friendship is this
