Goodbye, Goodbye Lyrics

Goodbye to all my friends
The time has come for me to go.
Goodbye to all the souls
who sailed with me so long.

The day has come at last
The sail strength at the mask
This have quickly passed away.

Goodbye to all my friends
The time has come for me to say
Goodbye to all my friends
who sailed with me the longer way.

The bells have all been rung
The songs have all been sung
This long rive is running close.

Goodbye to all my friends
The time has come for me to go.
Goodbye to all the souls
who sailed with me so long.

The coffee pot is cold
The jokes of all been told
The last don't has been rolled away.

Goodbye to all my friends
The time has come for me to say
Goodbye to all the souls
who sailed with me the longer way.

Goodbye, Goodbye goodbye.
Goodbye goodbye.
Goodbye goodbye.
Goodbye goodbye.

Comedian and former BBC Radio 6 Music DJ Phil Jupitus and Billy Bragg go back a long way – Jupitus supported Bragg several times when he was a performance poet on the Labour Party sponsored Red Wedge tour in 1985. He told the Radio Times that Bragg penned this song in his living room Leigh-on-Sea in Essex. Jupitus explained: "I used to be a huge fan of John Peel's show when he did it from Peel Acres, so for my last 6Music breakfast show I asked my boss, 'Please can I do it from home?' Billy Bragg wrote a new song for the end of his show."

Bragg later recorded the song for his Tooth & Nail album.
