Redgum - So Goodbye lyrics

I loved your home at Springfield

And your chauffer-drive Jag

But the afternoons at the yaucht squadron

Rally are a drag

Your country home at Aldgate

Your horses and your friends

The alcoholic sunsets, the pleasure never ends

I've just begun to notice the cold steel in your eyes

So I say to you goodbye

As she goes on asking why

I've spoken to your father he's a self made millionaire

Do you know where his factories are?

Do you know who lives there?

In squashy little red-brick houses far away from here.

They're ugly and they're all the same

The neighbours live so near

The way my famliy's living there you'd not believe your eyes

So I say to you goodbye

As she goes on asking why

Your brother's learning how to drive the jag in your back yard

Your father sits and tells me about how he's worked so hard

Your mother's introducting me with patronising grace
Redgum - So Goodbye - http://motolyrics.com/redgum/so-goodbye-lyrics.html
To all her bridge friends in the salon, little cakes and lace

My mothers working nightshift now, she's working till she dies

So I say to you goodbye, as she goes on asking why

Your fathers firm owns factories not far from where we stay

The chimneys spewing thick black smoke

Across the night and day

The people live and work down there underneath that cloud of smog

The kids' backyards are small and bare, too small to keep a dog

Dont tell me that they like it there, thats certainly a lie

So I say to you goodbye

As she goes on asking why

Please dont cry, you'll find a lover very soon I'm sure

A Gentleman who'll bring you roses

And lay them at your door

It's not because your rich but 'cause

Your not prepared to think

The higher daddy rises, the more his workers sink

You won't wake up in time my lady

You wont realize

So I say to you goodbye

AS she goes on asking why

So I say goodbye.
