Share my body and my mind with you
That's all over now
Did what I had to do
'Cause you're so far past me now
Share my body and my life with you
That's way over now
There's not anymore I can do
You're so famous now
Got your bible, got your gun
And you like to party and have fun
And I like my candy and your women
I'm finally happy now that you're gone
Got my little red party dress on
Everybody knows that I'm the best
I'm crazy
Get a little bit of Bourbon in 'ya
Get a little bit suburban
And go crazy
Because you're young, you're wild, you're free
You're dancing circles around me
You're fucking crazy
Oh, you're crazy for me
I shared my body and my mind with you
That's all over now
I did what I had to do
I found another anyhow
Shared my body and my mind with you
That's all over now
I did what I had to do
I could see you leaving now
I got your bible and your gun
And you love to party and have fun
And I love your women and all of your heroin
And I'm so happy now that you're gone
Got my little red party dress on
Everybody knows that I'm a mess
I'm crazy
Get a little bit of B
The latest track from their upcoming LP, ‘Sometimes Sunshine’, ‘Cruel World’ is an ode to a past relationship, that, despite all intentions to make it work, has sadly not. Painfully poignant and relatable to anyone who’s been there, it’s nonetheless given a delicate, stirring treatment, with Porter Block’s customary nostalgic sound. We speak with the band.
Were there specific experiences or emotions that influenced the writing and production process?
‘Cruel World’ was a song we co-wrote with Andy Paley. I had started it with lofty goals in an attempt to communicate something close to absolute frustration on top of a smooth Burt Bacharach set of chord changes. Very quickly it became clear that the complaints in the “cruel world” were normal boy-girl frustrations not any cosmic realization of empathy for the world gone wrong. We did a big orchestral-type production but it’s just another lonely guy missing his girl. So in the end, the title overstates the case of the “blues”.
What message or sensation were you aiming to convey through ‘Cruel World’?
In the end, the message of the song is to “stop complaining” and accept the world as it is. We can
Goodbye Cruel World
[Roger Waters]
Goodbye cruel world,
I'm leaving you today.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
Goodbye, all you people,
There's nothing you can say
To make me change my mind.
Goodbye.
Song In A Sentence:
Pink bids farewell to the outside world, locks himself in his hotel room and places the last brick in his mental wall.
T hough a cursory listen to “Goodbye Cruel World” might lead one to believe that Pink is on the verge of committing suicide, the song is more about metaphoric rather than physical death. Having decided to isolate himself completely from the world, Pink sings his final farewell as he arranges the last few bricks in their places. As Waters said in his 1979 interview, Pink is “going catatonic, if you like…he’s had enough, that’s the end.” Similar to the all-encompassing accusations of “Another Brick in the Wall, Part 3,” here Pink says his curiously calm goodbyes to “all you people,” which in one sense is addressed to everyone in his life who contributed to his wall, but in another seems to break the fourth wall (while ironically completing his own barrier) in arguably
