Supertramp – Goodbye Stranger Lyrics | 14 years ago |
People really? Its not like that. Its about a stranger, that tries to tell him the "right" way to live. Read it: Goodbye stranger, it's been nice Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Paradise: (christian) where all believers end up, tried to see your view: tried to follow didn't work, hope: no hard feelings The goodbye mary goodbye janes mean that he is saying goodbye to women he has been with but uses those names as a pun to reference to drugs, therefore goodbye mary, a woman he slept with and jane another as well as drugs. He is saying this in a mockery. He is choosing a "sinful" happy life with sex and drugs over what the stranger tried to tell him. |
