All of the plans we made And all of the money we saved How things have changed And I haven't had a good time In such a long time And, oh, how things have changed But they talk and talk and talk and talk and talk No one lets their hair down anymore But they talk and talk and talk and talk No one lets their hair down anymore Everyone's on edge so woe betide A word that's said behind the curtain Children kick a ball around Householders wear a frown When shall we move away That's all I'm trying to say Off the beaten track you can relax Or so it said in all the surveys Out here on the edge of town Sunday means wash the car down When shall we move away That's all I'm trying to say In the hallows of the afternoon The women's guild in our front room Are on the whiskey Eating all the fancy cakes Talking of the raw estates When shall we move away That's all I'm trying to say Yesterday I said, Margo Let's pull up all the roots and go
That's what I'm thinking Living in this apathy We'll vegetate, just wait and see When shall we move away That's all I'm trying to say It's not just an awkward age And it's not just a phase It's just how I love How I love the city And how I love the city And how I miss the city And how I miss the city And how I miss the nightlife And how I miss the bright lights And everything's here's new And there's nothing here to do So goodbye, suburbia I'm leaving Goodbye, suburbia I'm leaving It's just like living each day in the music hall The jokes are on you until the curtain falls Out here in the backwoods they'll squeeze you dry Each drop of your life's blood will make each day Go bye and bye and bye Goodbye, house now You know I'm leaving Goodbye, house now I'm going home Got to be leaving Leave it all behind I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm leaving I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm leaving, and I'm gone
