Part Company - The Go-Betweens

Come and have a look, beside me

A fine line of tears, part company

That’s her handwriting, that’s the way she writes

From the first letter I got to this her Bill of Rights, part company

And what will I miss?

Her cruelty, her unfaithfulness

Her fun, her love, her kiss, part company

That’s her handwriting, that’s the way she writes

Like mud in the September rain it comes, back to me

Part, part, I said part

Part company, made he men disappear

Cut my swathe and spread my fear

Before we’d met, I hadn’t wiped my feet

Seen myself naked or, part company

And I said it before, do I have to say it again

A fine line of tears, part company

That’s her handwriting, that’s the way she writes

From her first words to this, our last night

Part, part, she said part

Part company, made her men disappear

Cut my swathe and spread my fear
