Bye, Bye, Bye

Bye, Bye, Bye - Murray Head

The boy feels most peculiar

On his last day spent at school

He still can't find a place to sit

Is accused of breaking rules

The young man is on the doorstep

While his father bars the way

To tell him he's unwanted

When he'd never asked to stay

On the eve before his marriage

He isn't very sure

But surrounded by such ceremony

Makes him feel secure

When history repeats itself

There's nothing left to learn

For a moment you will see it

The point of no return

The place at which you learn

There's no turning back

Bye bye bye

They were dancing on the boat

With garlands in their hair

Like lambs to the slaughter

They didn't seem to care

They were partying on deck

When the chairs began to slide

I jumped over the rails

Before the laughter died

Sitting in a lifeboat

Bobbing off to sea

Watching all those crazy folks

Go down without me

Bye bye bye

I really must be going

It's more trouble than it's worth

It leads to thinking far too much

And feeling even worse

Bye bye bye

Bye bye bye

Bye

Bye bye bye

Bye bye bye

Bye bye bye

Bye bye bye

Bye bye bye

Bye bye bye

Bye bye bye

Bye bye bye

Bye bye bye

Bye bye bye

Bye bye bye

Bye bye bye

Bye bye bye

Bye bye bye

Bye bye bye
