Analysis of Goodbye S.S.
Spike Milligan
1918 · Ahmednagar, India – 2002 · Rye, United Kingdom
Go away girl, go away
and let me pack my dreams
Now where did I put those yesteryears
made up with broken seams
Where shall I sweep the pieces
my God they still look new
There's a taxi waiting at the door
but there's only room for you
