Just Go Away Lyrics
Oh don't ya' know?
Don't wanna see ya' any more
Put up or shut up
ya' spell ya' read DOOR
ya' got a big mouth and I'm happy to see
Your foot is firmly entrenched where a molar should be
If you talk much louder you could get an award
From the federal communications board
Don't be cruel
Be a thing sweet thing as a rule
Don't be sad
I left you in the street
You're pre-fab
I had to get away
Don't go away sad
Don't go pre-fab
Don't go be bad
Don't go away mad just go away
Oh don't ya' know?
Don't wanna see ya' here no more
Pack it and move it
ya' spell ya' read OUT out
Don't be bad
A mad hatter's beret
Sometimes you look like you just made an escape
Don't be mad or lose your medicaid cool
Of course cool rhymes with fool
Don't go be bad 'cause you been had
Don't go away sad
Don't go away mad
Just go away!
Oh don't ya' know?
I don't wanna see ya' curse and pout
Pack it and move it
ya' spell ya' read OUT out
Don't go be bad 'cause you been had
Don't go away sad
Don't go away mad
Just go away!
Go away!
Go away and stay away!
The "you spell you read" parts are spelled strangely. I guess the point is: D.O.O.R. and O.U.T.
And "Medicaid cool" make sense when she mentions that "cool rhimes with fool"
I think the meaning of the song is plain, but there are three lyrics that puzzle me. What does Deborah Harry mean by "Don't go pre-fab"? "Pre-fab" usually refers to a house or a novel that's pre-assembled, but I never heard it used of a person before. What does she mean by "a mad hatter's beret"? The Mad Hatter doesn't wear a beret; he wears an extra tall top hat with a large brim. And why is "cool" described as "Medicaid cool"? Medicaid is an entitlement for the retired and disabled. Everything else is clearly about a woman telling a man that it's over and she doesn't want any drama about it.
I love this song. Very underrated. Somehow the backing vocals in the chorus remind me of Muppet Show. Don't know why :-).
How did this song make the cut? The lyrics are terrible, the melody is forced, and the music is generic. This keeps the album from being a 10, imo
@breakingglass27 This is pure 1978 NYC attitude!

Part of the joke here is that this is the final track on the Parallel Lines album. It's like they are saying: Thanks for listening. Now go away!
