Lyrics

(Source: I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got)

This is the last day of our acquaintance.
I will meet you later in somebody's office.
I'll talk, but you won't listen to me.
I know what your answer will be.
I know you don't love me anymore.
You used to hold my hand when the plane took off.
Two years ago, there just seemed so much more,
And I don't know what happened to our love.
Today' s the day.
Our friendship has been stale,
And we will meet later to finalise the details.
Two years ago, the seed was planted,
And since then you have taken me for granted.
But this is the last day of our acquaintance. (Ho ho ho.)
I will meet you later in somebody's office.
I'll talk, but you won't listen to me.
I know your answer already.
I know your answer already.

Quotes

(Source: John Reynolds)

Last Day Of Our Acquaintance came from Sinead and I jamming in the studios, trying out a song I'd never before heard. Sinead was saying 'Come in when I get loud and come out when I nod my head', but after the first run-through we decided it was as close to perfection as it ever could be. Jah Wobble's contribution to the track was added the following week.
