Goodbye Mr. Green

from ANDELAIN by Paul Liddell

/

lyrics

Hello Mr. Blue / How are you?
You don’t look the same as you did before
I don’t know you any more

Hello Mr. Green / How’ve you been
You haven’t changed much since we met at school
I know your face but I don’t know you

Then Green said…
Well I may look the same but the boy has gone
I joined the army at twenty-one
I’ve got ringing in my ears and I can’t get rid
Can’t tell you about the things that I did

So I said…
Well I may look different but I haven’t changed
My hair fell out but I’m still the same
Soft on the outside and on the inside
I look you in the eye when I’m speaking my mind

Well it was good to see you
Bye-bye

So give my love to your mother
And say hello to your brother
Goodbye

The last time I saw Mr. Green
He didn’t see me
He didn’t know who the hell I was
Just a man in the corner singing some songs
And then…
Green shouts at the singer for his favourite song
I told him I didn’t play that one
His eyes started popping like he’s out of his mind
As I spoke mine and looked in his eyes
Green’s face was frozen in a mask of derision
As I noticed a flicker of recognition
He put down his drink / He stood straight up
He didn’t look back as the door slammed shut

Well it was good to see you
Bye-bye
