Artist/Band: Shakespear's Sister
Lyrics for Song: Goodbye Cruel World
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Shakespear's Sister



She likes to wake up and just fake it
She knows if she touches it she´ll break it
She can see all the houselights fading
And the ground beneath her feet is shaking
She´s singing bye bye my old friend
You´re never going to see my face again
You left me outside in the rain
So goodbye mr. a.

Just when you think she´s wearing thin
She´s walking out with the biggest man you´ve ever seen
You´re never gonna see my face again
It took some time so here I am,
So bye bye mr. a.
Well now her grass is looking greener
And you hope that sometime you might see her
What a diamond, boy, looks like you missed it
It must have left you feeling sick and twisted
Bye bye my old friend
You´re never gonna see my face again
You left me outside in the rain
So bye bye I said bye bye


Goodbye Cruel World

Shakespear's Sister's "Goodbye Cruel World" stands as a defining track within the UK indie pop and shoegaze revival of the early 2000s. The song exemplifies the band's signature sound, blending ethereal vocals with distorted guitars and driving rhythms that characterize their discography. Released alongside other notable works like "Dirty Mind" and "Break My Heart," the recording captures the melancholic yet energetic aesthetic that made the group a staple of the era's underground scene. Its enduring popularity reflects the band's ability to craft atmospheric soundscapes that resonated deeply with fans seeking an alternative to mainstream pop. The track remains a key reference point for understanding the genre's evolution during that specific period.
