Can't say I'm sorry to be leaving here tonight
There's not much that I will miss
ย
And anyway to say I feel betrayed is not quite right
But like betrayal this all started with a kiss
But how could they understand
That a man is not an island
Could they ever realise that's why
I'm heading to the mainland
And the bastards in the bar
I bet they say good luck good riddance
But I say to each their own
You pack of filthy sodden pissants
I don't know quite what I'm doing
I don't know quite what to say
The lights of Devonport are fading in the distance
And I'm leaving here today
ย
I thought that it was all of my own business who I loved
I never wore my heart upon my belt
But in this mining town the only thing not mined is your own business
And they never spared one thought for how I felt
But how could they understand
That a man could get so lonely
Could they ever realise what it takes
To be the one and only
And the bastards in the bar
I bet they say good luck good riddance
And I say to each their own
You pack of filthy sodden pissants
I don't know quite what I'm doing
I don't know quite what to say
The lights of Devonport are fading in the distance
And I'm leaving here today
ย
There's a better time waiting for me somewhere
I can feel it as we head across the straits
And when I get to that better place
That's waiting for me somewhere
Maybe I'll put pen to paper
Drop a line to those of you who care
But not to the bastards in the bar
To you I say good luck good riddance
You could never understand
Pack of filthy sodden pissants
I don't know quite where I'm going
I don't know quite where I'll stay
The lights of Devonport are fading in the distance
And I'm leaving here today
