P.S. Goodbye

It's about the singer's experiences and reflections on their youth, with a focus on the intense emotions and experiences that come with growing up. They mention having "too many crazy nights" and "seeing too many crazy sights," indicating that they have lived a wild and perhaps reckless life. They also mention not wanting their scars to show, which could mean both literally and metaphorically, representing the speaker's desire to hide the physical and emotional scars of their experiences.

It also touches on the idea that there is always a danger in pursuing your dreams, with the metaphor of an actor "stealing scenes" suggesting that the pursuit of fame and success can sometimes overshadow other important aspects of life.

The singer reflects on the "magic moments" of their youth, and the emotions that they fought to hide, such as passion and pride.

"Sisters side by side / Talking while our tongues are tied" represents the bonds of sisterhood and the power of female relationships to support each other through life's challenges, even when words fail. The repeated "la da da / da da da da" at the end of the lyrics could indicate the difficulty of expressing these complex emotions in words and the power of the music that follows is used to convey a meaning beyond language.

According to Mark:

"The last of the four recorded for the last Peel session. Very, very rarely does anyone, fortunate enough to get to do a session for John Peel's programme, get asked back to do another, let alone three. I knew there wouldn't be a fourth and so the song was really a post script to all three sessions. I tried to explain in lyrical terms where all the previous songs had come from, in three simple stanzas."
