Notes

Martin Gore likened "Goodbye" to the music of The Beatles in a March 2013 Associated Press interview:

"It's a bad thing to say [that it sounds like The Beatles] because everyone is going to say, 'What are you talking about?' But it reminds me of The Beatles or something. That's a dangerous thing to say."[1]

Lyrics


Goodbye

It was you that took my soul

Threw it in the fire

Tamed it in the rapture

Filled me with desire


Now I'm pure, now I'm clean

I feel cured and serene

In you


There is no denying

How I have been changed

You won't hear me crying

Now misery is strange


I can dream, I can fly

Now it seems I get by

With you


Goodbye pain

Goodbye again


I was always looking

Looking for someone

Someone to stick my hook in

Pull it out and run


Now I'm caught on your line

All my thoughts are entwined

In you


Goodbye pain

Goodbye again


If you see me walking

To the golden gates

Turn around, start talking

Stop and hesitate


I'll be waiting up there

With my fate in the air

For you

Goodbye
