Who took the bus? Well, I took that lonely bus. Where did you go? Well, I had no special place to go. You told us farewell I told you farewell. No destination, I just packed a bag and got out of here. Who stole the car? Well, I don't know what you're talking about. Who took your heart? Well, I don't want to discuss that now. Did you tell them farewell? I told her farewell But she was sleeping May not have heard a word I said I told you farewell. What are your plans? Well, now you're beginning to get on my nerves Can't you leave me alone for a while? Who do you love? Well I don't see what that is to you Anyway, there isn't anyone. I'm so tired and I'd really like just to rest for a while.
Commentary
Coincidentally, this was our last song. Begun by Jim when he was 13 and completed by the group in a room in Dollis Hill in the spring of 1990. We wanted it to be a single at the time. Then there was talk of an album but it was never completed so this is the song's only appearance.
