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 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.
