lyrics

Goodbye Cruel Pop World

You can make it if you reach for the stars
You can be someone much better by far
But for most of us it's back to the grind
Twenty years is such a bloody long time so I'm sorry

Goodbye cruel pop world I'm leaving today
You won't miss me at all I'm embarrassed to say
You don't even know my name

You take a chance you know that someone must win
You put your money down and give it a spin
You play your heart out take the rough with the smooth
You send your demo out but it's always refused so I'm sorry

Goodbye cruel pop world I'm leaving today
You won't miss me at all though it hurts me to say
You don't even know my name

Going nowhere's such a big waste of time
I was only trying to drop you a line

In the Welcome Break about 3am
You decide you don't wanna be here again
You thought you couldn't lose if just had a shot
But that gig at the 100 Club was the best that it got so I'm sorry

Goodbye cruel pop world I'm leaving today
You won't miss me at all I'm embarrassed to say

Goodbye cruel pop world I'm leaving today
You won't miss me at all I'm delighted to say
I'll be OK
