I'm Glad

(from the CD Stark Raving Songs)

I'm glad that you're in Trinidad
I'm glad you're there
I'm glad you're in Tangier
I'm so glad that you're not here
I'm glad you're in Moscow
I hope its cold I hope it snows
I'm glad you're in New York
I'm so happy we can't talk
Cape Town, Cairo, South Berlin
I'm glad I'm out of the town you're in
Cardiff, Christchurch, Timbuktu
I'm so glad I'm not with you.

I'm glad you're in Bangkok
I'm glad you're there
I'm glad you're in Belfast
Glad you're in the past at last
I'm glad you're in Melbourne
Glad you're gone and on the run
I'm glad you're in Bombay
And moving further every day
Tokyo, Beijing, Old Madrid
I'm glad I did the things I did
Houston, Glasgow, gay Paris
I'm so glad you're not with me.

Bye-bye all your flaky friends
Bye-bye lousy long weekends
I'm so happy I could die
I'm so glad we said goodbye.

I'm glad you've gone to hell
I'm glad you're there
I'm glad I'm where I am
With harps and angels everywhere
I'm glad you're lost in space
Glad you left the human race
I'm glad I'm on my own
And you're not on the telephone
You went walking out the door
It's a big wide world and that's for sure
Go go go keep moving on
I'm so happy now you're gone.

Bye-bye rainbows, bye-bye rain
Bye-bye chain gang, bye-bye chain
Bye-bye baby, baby blue
Bye-bye me and bye-bye you.
