Jools Holland, Marc Almond - Say Hello, Wave Goodbye lyrics

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 never happens again
You and i, it had to be the
Standing joke of the year
You were a sleeparound
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 see
I put up with all the scenes
And this is one scene that`s
Gonna 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 make-up 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
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 a secret, it has been hell
We're strangers, meeting for the first time
Ok? 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
Say hello, wave goodbye
Say hello then wave goodbye
Say hello, wave goodbye goodbye
