Once A Friend

Once A Friend is a b-side from the 1992 James single Ring The Bells. It also features on the 2004 compilation album The Collection.

It was an outtake from the Seven sessions and only featured on the 12″ single version of Ring The Bells, maknig it one of the few songs released through Fontana/Mercury that was unavailable on CD. The release of The Collection in 2004 rectified this.

You were created just for me
You were created just to tease
You never loved you just diseased
I put my faith in you
Swallowed all you schemes
You fooled us all with easy love
Your body folds into a bed
Your spirit's stuck inside your head
I put my faith in you
Turned you into god
You were once my friend
Never again
Once my friend
Never again
Once my friend
Never again
You showed me all the things I liked
I'll turn defense into attack
I'll make you wish you're still on song
I put my trust in you
Turned you into god
You were once my friend
Never again
Once my friend
Never again
Once my friend
But never again
No never again
You were always running me down
I was always in the way
Sick of being understanding
Now I'm gonna make you pay
Now I'm gonna make you pay
Now I'm gonna make you... pay
