lyrics

Mother always wanted obscurity for me
I think I’ve achieved it
Obscurity amongst other things

Daddy done schooled me across his knee
That was the eighties
That was a time of hurt and greed

Every other shop was a charity
The town was dead
The town was dead and so were we

I never saw beneath your disguise
Lived my life
Through Andy Warhol’s eyes

Thought heroes would last forever but they’re gone
Where did you go Jackie O?
Where did you go?

All I wanted to believe
Is that you would rescue me
All I wanted to believe
Is that you would rescue me
But you brought me to my knees
And that’s no good for me
For me
All I wanted to believe
Is that you would rescue me

Mother always wanted obscurity for me
I think I’ve achieved it
I think I’ve achieved so many things

I’ve got my group and I love my friends
I call it success
I call it success

I never knew how hard you tried
I didn’t know til now
I didn’t know and it doesn’t matter any how

GOODBYE W.G.C.
by S*M*A*S*H

"'Goodbye W.G.C.' is a great title for the final S*M*A*S*H album. It has Salv on it but after that, he dropped away completely. We felt it wasn’t S*M*A*S*H any longer without Salv." ED BORRIE
