Goodbye Goodbyes
(Alan Newbery)
Goodbye Goodbyes 19/09/2008
Goodbye Sydney
I’m leaving as fast as I can
I just spent the night
With a conniving self obsessed woman
Kept me awake with her rough lovin’
In the morning she started pushin’ and shoving
So I ran
Goodbye Melbourne Its time for me to go
I am not dawdling My departure will not be slow
I thought I’d found the one But she vanished with the sun
With all my dough
She’s known to be no good
In this neighbourhood
Having done so many people wrong
First she tried to tame me
Then she tried to blame me
Then she tried to teach me her sad song
Goodbye Brisbane/ Guess its time I was not here
My northern adventure/ All turned out so very queer
Another forlorn romance Another sad sad bad dance
Awash with beer
Goodbye Perth Once again I must depart
I leave the west coast with a raw and aching heart
She was vibrant as the mining boom But it seems our love was doomed
Right from the start
Though known as Coolgardie Tart To her I gave my heart
Convinced that she would change for little ol' me
But her manising did persist She couldn’t seem to resist
One day I woke up screaming Set me free
It’s good-bye to good-byes
From now I’m livin’ just for me
Goodbye to goodbyes
From hereon I’m living’ just for me
Goodbye goodbyes
I’m travelling light and feeling free ©2008A.Newbery
