Overture 01:40
Oh Gus, my dear friend, What happened to you? I haven’t seen you since we were ten. I’m fine but not sure, If I’m okay without my friend. Oh Gus, my dear friend, Can’t stand it so long, This time I’m sure I won’t let you go. Please come home, Let’s play with my basket ball, I promise I’ll let you win, ‘Cause you’re my best friend... At all... When I finally see you, We’ll run through the rainy hills, I’ll never let you go, Once again. But I won’t give you a kiss, My friend.

The Letter 01:21
He’s coming! He’s coming! (I just received your letter!) He’s coming! He’s coming! (I just received your letter!) He’s coming! He’s coming! (I just received your letter!) He’s coming! He’s coming! He’s coming! We’ll meeting soon, we’ll meeting soon...
3.
Waiting, at the station. Waiting, here in London. I just want to receive you, with my open arms I will not flee, When the rain comes down to my knee. Pillows, to sleep tight. Wake up, ‘cause you’ll arrive. A train is getting closer to the platform nine oh three, Don’t forget all your belongings on the coach.

Great arrival of Gusman! Sound arrival of Gusman! Hey dear bezzie dear Gusman how are you lad? You seem well lemme hug you chuffed wacker, ta! Bags of years, jew remember cracks in me gaff? Dodgy adventures, nan sit off while we were lads. Mush nix to say! Queer feller’s here! Dead clever as well! Hey miladdo let’s dig out dem creased arms, Fetch yer luggage and lemme give you a hand, Though I’m Lala, I’m made up, you here young Manc, Lorr’adventures are waiting for us, jar jar! Tab snitch from the sanny... Boss days... Tell me everything you’ve done, Tell me them news I heard from you! I’ll listen to your words of gaffless gob. Have you got a wife? Grass me on! Did a bizzie nick you at Greenwood Road? Were you selling gear? Duff slog for yew!
5.
The Dinner 03:40
Are you hungry? Don’t be shy and eat your loaves. Are you starving? Don’t you heart the bread John loves? Let’s go for some fresh beans From the chippy next to you. Say, what you wanna eat my friend, Maybe then we could have a talk, While we’re waiting, Waiting, waiting wai-things we’ll eat! It’s easy, well, just raise your hand, Bring me that lobster with some chips. And for that Gusman, Bring some knickers with green peas.

Ham On! 04:10
Slow down! I didn’t catch your mood, I didn’t know a joke would mind to you... Isn’t this the way you expected me? Will you hang me from a flowered tree? Never mind! Just let the sunglow lamp on me! Sit yourself and just ham on, there’s too much to eat! Too much to dream... If she found out you was brasic... Would she leave you for a chokka guy? Tell me Gusman, is it more important what you get, From the causes than the circumstances? Don’t let the side dish catch your smile... Nothing’s more important than the love you have! The love you’ve had... The solution... Is care yourself, For them causes... Don’t lose your head!

Suspicion 02:17
Oh my Gus, you haven’t said a word! Was it the bus? Or everything that’s wrong with the world? What’s going on? Please tell me so! I’ll help you if it is a bad thing... But please... Talk to me... Please, talk to me! Please! Please! Please! Please!
9.
Gustav, finally talked to me tonight... Never was a great friend for him! He just, came here ‘cause I paid the trip... What a fucking jackal from hell! Fuck off! I don’t want a friend like you... Didn’t expect such a wacky tune! Did my accent disappoint you? Get away... Get away...
10.
Oops! 05:16
Gus didn’t get away, he refused to do it; so I had to kill him. Oh dear friends, I’m sorry. Grabbed him with a kitchen knife, and buried it in his left eye. He just shouted as a girl, but I laughed like I never did. If I could only describe the scene, those images will never fade away. The screams were very loud; were his or mine? It’s gotta be done, we must die now. Maybe he’ll go to heaven, but I won’t. I don’t have an excuse for what I’ve done. Everything was an absurd feeling I had from the beginning. Please God, forgive me for being such a murderer. Anyway; we all make mistakes. I may not have know what I was doing? I was blinded by greed and stupidity! I wonder how the story was through Gus’s eyes. I’m sure he had laughed at such ridiculous tale; but that doesn’t matter anymore. Our lives have been taken, and now life will seem like a waste of time. While I watch you die, I’ll bleed to death, and slowly the pain will get away; slowly everything will fade away... away...

(Typewriting “The End” lyrics)
12.
This is a song I wrote for the funeral of my friend Gustav... And for mine as well... Oh Gus, My dear friend, It’s the evening of the day. Ain’t cry... Alone... Tonight... Goodbye my friend... We’re all gathered here to say so long to our friend Gustav, Who passed away last week due to a confusion. And thy soul’s gone... Oh Lord please forgive all his trespassed, as well as mine, ‘Cause the future’s untrue. Bless us all... ‘Cause God only knows and maybe me too when our time’s come. But deliver us from evil... Amen. Now I feel... Your absence is really killing me! I grabbed my pipe and turned it on, It never had such a nasty flavour since October 1994. And when the crows were flying around, Above the tree where we discovered our world... A young man told me you can’t eat the seed of an apple... And my desire was opposed! And the song was too long... Somebody get me a drink and make me forget all my duties, ‘Cause what I’m about to do requires more courage than what it did last week... Goodbye... Goodbye... Goodbye... Goodbye... In this letter I’ll explain, That all I did was a mistake. The time has come to catch you up right there... And run through the hills of heaven... Forever with you... The end...
