  • I've been away so long
    Wonder where I went wrong
    Spent my last years in a cell
    Never ever go away again
    I've been so sad and lonely
    Never ever ever gonna go away again

    It's a waste of time doing time
    When you didn't commit a crime
    It wasn't me it was my brother Bill
    Emptied out the till, never gonna speak to Bill again
    He's made me sad and lonely
    Never ever gonna speak to brother Bill again

    It was no use, they put my brother on the jury
    He bribed the others 'cause he owns the local brewery
    They let me out today
    Brother Bill's gonna pay
    No one's ever gonna speak to Bill again
    Never ever gonna speak to Bill again
    He'll be too cold and bony
    Never ever gonna go away again
    Never ever gonna go away again
    Never ever gonna go away again Writer/s: JOHN ENTWISTLE
