David Gray - Say Hello Wave Goodbye

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 doesn't happen again,
You and I had to be the standing joke of the year,
You were a run around, a lost and found, and not for me I feel

Take your hands off me, hey,
I don't belong to you, you see,
And take a look in my face, for the last time,
I never knew you, you never knew me,
Say hello goodbye,
Say hello and wave goodbye,

We tried to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt and me in a suit but 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, this is one scene that's going to be played my way

[Chorus:]
Say hello and wave goodbye

Under the deep red light I can see the make-up sliding down,
Well hey little girl you will always make up so take off that unbecoming frown,
As for me, well I'll find someone who's not going cheap in the seams,
A nice little housewife who'll give me a steady life and not keep going
off the rails,

[Chorus:]
Say hello and wave goodbye [repeat]

DONT GIVE UP YOUR DAY JOB CAUSE YOU CANT SING AT ALL, ALL YOU HAVE DONE IS SPOILT A GOOD SONG AND KILLED IT

"Take your hands off me, hey,

I don't belong to you, you see,

And take a look in my face, for the last time,

I never knew you, you never knew me,

Say hello goodbye,

Say hello and wave goodbye"

These lryics so much weight!

MissIndependent197, oops I messed up your name. Bet you never got the notice.

dMissIndependent197, I see this as the end of a great movie, where the girl goes home showers off all the old image, cuts her hair and puts on baggy old clothing. Then she walks through the rain (this must have rain) goes to his door.

He opens it not wearing a shirt (that part is just for me, my script so I get to see some skin) she pulls out a book and shows it to him the camera is behind her.

Pregnant pause, then full body hug, camera pans to book.."The Joy of Cooking".
