Julian Dawson - I like your absence
I like your absence better than your presents
With you it's Christmas every day
I like news better that comes by the letter
I promise if you leave I'll write you every day
'cause absence makes the heart grow fonder
I like you best when you're not there
Whenever we're together it's stormy weather
Whenever we're apart it seems it's always fair
I like your absence better than your presence
And your apartment is an ideal home
We have sound - we have vision
But most important there's a telephone
'cause absence ...
I like your absence better than your presence
But your devotion doesn't buy my time
And if I'm gonna spend my life in prison
I think it's only fair that I should know my crime
'cause you're my judge and you're my jury
Just one sentence I land in jail
But I've got a file right here in this cake
I'm busting out of here and I'm jumping bail
Jumping bail
Jumping bail
I like your absence better than your presents
With you it's Christmas every day
I like news better that comes by the letter
I promise if you leave I'll write you every day
