The Goodbye Look Lyrics

Lyric discussion by kevmogs 

Cover art for The Goodbye Look lyrics by Donald Fagen

I always think this song reminds me of the film "The Comedians", based on the book of the same name by Grahame Greene. It is set in Haiti, at the time of Papa Doc Duvalier and his Ton-Ton Macoute, ruthlessly wiping out the revolutionaries opposed to his terrible dictatorship. Liz Taylor plays Martha (Gretchen), the German wife of an ambassador, and two visiting Americans witness executions by the beach.

My Opinion

@kevmogs Your comment prompted me to check IMDb about this movie. Elizabeth Taylor's character's name was Martha Pineda.
