Glad When You're GoneNazareth

"Glad When You're Gone" — the relief of departure.

Now you say that you're leavin'
Well it can't be too soon
And you spend all of my money
You knocked my guitar out of tune.
Well you say you're sick and tired
Tired of having me around
And you call me cheatin' liar
You drove my car into the ground.
And I'll be glad when you're gone
Yes I'll be glad when you're gone
And when you walk out that door
Darlin' please don't come back no more
Now I wish I'd never known you
And I wish we'd never met
I was drunk you gave me whiskey
When I was ill you called the vet.
Well you say that it's over
And you think you'll bring me down
If you come back lookin' for me
I'll be out there on the town.

Знаете ли вы, что...

  • From the Nazareth catalogue. The gladness that follows the leaving — the relief when someone who has been causing difficulty finally goes. The anti-love song that names the feeling people have but don't admit.
