What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I loved your home at Springfield
2
And your chauffer-drive Jag
3
But the afternoons at the yaucht squadron
4
Rally are a drag
5
Your country home at Aldgate
6
Your horses and your friends
7
The alcoholic sunsets, the pleasure never ends
8
I've just begun to notice the cold steel in your eyes
9
So I say to you goodbye
10
As she goes on asking why
11
I've spoken to your father he's a self made millionaire
12
Do you know where his factories are?
13
Do you know who lives there?
14
In squashy little red-brick houses far away from here.
15
They're ugly and they're all the same
16
The neighbours live so near
17
The way my famliy's living there you'd not believe your eyes
18
So I say to you goodbye
19
As she goes on asking why
20
Your brother's learning how to drive the jag in your back yard
21
Your father sits and tells me about how he's worked so hard
22
Your mother's introducting me with patronising grace
23
To all her bridge friends in the salon, little cakes and lace
24
My mothers working nightshift now, she's working till she dies
25
So I say to you goodbye, as she goes on asking why
26
Your fathers firm owns factories not far from where we stay
27
The chimneys spewing thick black smoke
28
Across the night and day
29
The people live and work down there underneath that cloud of smog
30
The kids' backyards are small and bare, too small to keep a dog
31
Don't tell me that they like it there, that's certainly a lie
32
So I say to you goodbye
33
As she goes on asking why
34
Please don't cry, you'll find a lover very soon I'm sure
35
A Gentleman who'll bring you roses
36
And lay them at your door
37
It's not because your rich but 'cause
38
Your not prepared to think
39
The higher daddy rises, the more his workers sink
40
You won't wake up in time my lady
41
You wont realize
42
So I say to you goodbye
43
As she goes on asking why
44
So I say goodbye.
