"Say Hello, Wave Goodbye (Live At The Royal Festival Hall)" lyrics
Marc Almond & Chris Braide Lyrics
(feat. Ian Anderson)
Standing in 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 never happens again
You and I, it had to be the standing joke of the year
You were a sleep around
A lost and found
And not for me I fear
I tried to make it work
You in a cocktail skirt
And me in a suit
Well, it just wasn't me
You're used to wearing less
And now your life's a mess
So insecure you seem
I put up with all the scenes
But this is one scene
That's going to be played my way
Take your hands off me
I don't belong to you, you see
Take a look at my face
For the last time
I never knew you
You never knew me
Say hello, goodbye
Say hello, wave goodbye
Under the deep red light
I can see the makeup sliding down
Hey little girl, you will always make up
So take off that unbecoming frown
What about me, well
I'll find someone
That's not going cheap in the sales
A nice little housewife
Who'll give me a steady life
And won't keep going off the rails
Take your hands off me
I don't belong to you, you see
Come on and take a look at my face
For the last time
I never knew you
You never knew me
Say hello, goodbye
Say hello, wave goodbye
We've been involved for
Quite a while now
And to keep you secret
It has been hell
We're strangers meeting, for the first time, okay?
Just smile and say hello
Say hello, then wave goodbye
Say hello, then wave goodbye
Say hello, then wave goodbye
Say hello, then wave goodbye
(Chris Briad)
Ian Anderson. Say hello, wave goodbye
Say hello, then wave goodbye
You've been an amazing audience
Thank you so much
You've listened to lost of songs that you probably didn't know
But you've been fantastic, thank you very much
For indulging me, for indulging Chris
For indulging all of us
Thank you so much
You need a bit of chaos inside yourself
If you're gonna get birth to a dancing star
Say hello, wave goodbye
Say hello, say goodbye
Goodbye
Say goodbye
You've been amazing
Get home save
I think you just about had enough now
Crying in the rain
It was a kind of so-so love
And I'm gonna make sure, it never happens again
You and I, it had to be the standing joke of the year
You were a sleep around
A lost and found
And not for me I fear
I tried to make it work
You in a cocktail skirt
And me in a suit
Well, it just wasn't me
You're used to wearing less
And now your life's a mess
So insecure you seem
I put up with all the scenes
But this is one scene
That's going to be played my way
Take your hands off me
I don't belong to you, you see
Take a look at my face
For the last time
I never knew you
You never knew me
Say hello, goodbye
Say hello, wave goodbye
Under the deep red light

Hey little girl, you will always make up
So take off that unbecoming frown
