Another Suitcase In Another Hall

Hello and goodbye!

I've just unemployed you

You can go back to school

You've 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 to?

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
