Gorgeous Picture

I really love this picture.

Hello and goodbye!
I’ve just unemployed you
You can go back to school–you had a good run
I’m sure he enjoyed you
Don’t act sad or surprised, let’s be friends, civilized
Come on little one!
Don’t sit there like a dummy!
The day you knew would arrive is here–you’ll survive
So move, funny face!
I like your conversation–you’ve a catchy turn of phrase

I don’t expect my love affairs to last for long
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true
Being used to trouble I anticipate it
But all the same I hate it–wouldn’t you?
So what happens now?

Another suitcase in another hall

So what happens now?

Take your picture off another wall

Where am I going to?

You’ll get by, you always have before

Where am I going to?
Time and time again I’ve said that I don’t care
That I’m immune to gloom, that I’m hard through and through
But every time it matters all my words desert me
So anyone can hurt me–and they do
So what happens now?

Another suitcase in another hall

So what happens now?

Take your picture off another wall

Where am I going to?

You’ll get by you always have before

Where am I going go?
Call in three months time and I’ll be fine I know
Well maybe not that fine, but I’ll survive anyhow
I won’t recall the names and places of this sad occasion
But that’s no consolation–here and now
So what happens now?

Another suitcase in another hall

So what happens now?

Take your picture off another wall

Where am I going to?

You’ll get by, you always have before

Where am I going to?

Don’t ask anymore
