Say Hello, Wave Goodbye - Jools Holland/Marc Almond

Standing at the door of the pink flamingo

Crying in the rain

It was a kind of so so love

And i'm gonna make sure

It never happens again

You and i it had to be the

Standing joke of the year

You were a sleeparound

A lost and found and not for me i fear

I tried to make it work

You in a cocktail skirt

And me in a suit well it just wasn't me

You're used to wearing less

And now your life's a mess

So insecure you see

I put up with all the scenes

And this is one scene

That`s gonna be played my way

Take your hands off me

I don't belong to you you see

Take a look at my face for the last time

I never knew you you never knew me

Say hello goodbye

Say hello wave goodbye

Under the deep red light

I can see the make up sliding down

Hey little girl

You will always make up

So take off that unbecoming frown

What about me well

I'll find someone

That's not going cheap in the sales

A nice little housewife

Who'll give me a steady life

And won't keep going off the rails

Take your hands off me

I don't belong to you you see

Take a look

At my face for the last time

I never knew you

You never knew me

Say hello goodbye

Say hello wave goodbye

We've been involved for

Quite a while now

And to keep you a secret

It has been hell

We're strangers

Meeting for the first time ok

Just smile and say hello

Say hello then wave goodbye

Say hello then wave goodbye

Say hello then wave goodbye

Say hello then wave goodbye

Goodbye
