about

A one-off single with an electro-funk / pop flava!

This song is absolutely NOT indicative of what the next Mr. Strange album will sound like, hence the release as a standalone single. Promise!

lyrics

LYRICS:

Sun to rain, things change, from love to pure distain,
What blooms can attain a state of rank decay,
It’s too much, I forget it’s only stuff,
And there’s nonesuch as you… Until the next,
Never say never,
Never say forever,

Hello,
Goodbye,
From crushing lows to soaring highs,
Hello,
Goodbye,
The joke’s there’s no reply,
Hello,
Goodbye,
Don’t cry,
It’s easy come and easy go,
Whichever way the wind blows,

To see, to know, to taste, to touch before it goes,
Don’t wait, don’t wake before the day is late,
Leisure, it won’t last forever,
It’s pleasure, not a possession,
From feasts to swill for swine, to live or die,
This time it’s yours, not mine, and I’m learning not to mind,
It’s changing all the time,
Life loves to say…

Hello,
Goodbye,
From crushing lows to soaring highs,
Hello,
Goodbye,
The joke’s there’s no reply,
Hello,
Goodbye,
Don’t cry,
It’s easy come and easy go,
Whichever way the wind blows,

I try to hold on,
To things I think belong,
But the tighter my grip,
The faster it all slips,
Fight and cling,
To a friend or a thing,
A smile, a song,
It’s there and then it’s gone.
It’s gone…

A life built on shifting sands,
It slides, sinks and shifts around,
Turning from stone to grains in your hand,
Then, like magic, from shit to fertile ground,

It comes and goes in a flash.

Hello,
Goodbye,
From crushing lows to soaring highs,
Hello,
Goodbye,
The joke’s there’s no reply,

We come and we go,
Whichever way the wind blows,
We come and we go,
Yeah, that’s why I say,

Hello,
Goodbye,
From November to July,
Hello,
Goodbye,
There’s no point in asking why,

Things come and they go,
Who knows where the river flows?
Things come and they go,
Hello,
Hello and goodbye,
We all know, it’s easy come and easy go.
