Another Suitcase in Another Hall - The Colored Music, Tune Robbers, The World-Band

Hello and goodbye

I’ve just unemployed you

You can go back to school

You had a good run

I’m sure he enjoyed you

Don’t act sad or surprised, let’s be friends, civilized

Come on little one

Don’t stand there like a dummy

The day you knew would arrive is here, you’ll survive

So move, funny face

I like your conversation

You’ve a catchy turn of phrase

I don’t expect my love affairs to last for long

Never fool myself that my dreams will come true

Being used to trouble I anticipate it

But all the same I hate it

Wouldn’t you?

So what happens now?

(Another suitcase in another hall)

So what happens now?

(Take your picture off another wall)

Where am I going to?

(You'll get by, you always have before)

Where am I going to?

Time and time again I’ve said that I don’t care

That I’m immune to gloom, that I’m hard through and through

But every time it matters all my words desert me

So anyone can hurt me — and they do

So what happens now?

(Another suitcase in another hall)

So what happens now?

(Take your picture off another wall)

Where am I going to?

(You'll get by you always have before)

Where am I going to?

Call in three months time and I’ll be fine I know

Well maybe not that fine, but I’ll survive anyhow

I won’t recall the names and places of this sad occasion

But that’s no consolation — here and now

So what happens now?

(Another suitcase in another hall)

So what happens now?

(Take your picture off another wall)

Where am I going to?

(You'll get by you always have before)

Where am I going to?

Don’t ask anymore
