All She Wrote Lyrics - Other People's Lives - Ray Davies

All she wrote was a goodbye letter 

"It's over for us, to tell you the truth 

I've met this person in a disco 

He's really special, reminds me of you? 

"Now you can mix in those swinging circles 

Single bars and gay cafes 

With pickup lines to impress young schoolgirls 

And big Australian barmaids" 

That's all she wrote 

On the back of that old brown envelope 

A few killer lines to get my goat 

That's all she wrote 

All she wrote on that goodbye letter 

"It's over for us, to tell you the truth 

And my new man is a vegetarian 

He laughs a lot, not like you" 

Picked up one of her old love letters 

"You are such a caring man" 

Such a change from that cold, bitter scam 

Of what I was and what I am 

That's all she wrote 

On the back of an old brown envelope 

A few killer lines to get my goat 

That's all she wrote 

"Did you ever really love me? 

Did you ever really care? 

Now, you're free to live your fantasy 

And I'm not there 

To cramp your style and blow your cover 

Now, you're free to take your lover 

To titty bars and low life clubs" 

All she wrote is a goodbye letter 

"It's over for us, to tell you the truth 

I've met this person in a disco 

He's really special, reminds me of you? 

"So, don't pretend to be a new man 

Be chauvinistic, that's your way 

Now, you're free to make your play 

For that big Australian barmaid 

(Big Australian barmaid) 

Big Australian barmaid" 

That's all she wrote 

On the back of that old brown envelope 

A few killer lines in that suicide note 

That's all she wrote
