Ooh Glenn
don't come to the house tonight
Ooh, Glenn
Ooh, Glenn
don't come to the house tonight
Ooh, Glenn
because there's somebody here
who really really loves you
Ooh, Glenn
stay home
be bored
(it's crap, I KNOW)
tonight
Ooh, Glenn
Ooh, Glenn
don't come to the house tonight
Ooh, Glen
Ooh, Glenn
don't come to the house tonight
because there's somebody here
who'll take a hatchet to your ear
how the frustration it renders me
hateful, Glenn!
don't come to the house tonight
don't come to the house tonight
because you'll slip on the ¹
trail of my bespattered remains
and so that's why, that's why
GOODBYE MY LOVE, GOODBYE MY LOVE
GOODBYE MY LOVE, GOODBYE MY LOVE
GOODBYE MY LOVE, GOODBYE MY LOVE
