Lyrics Gilbert O'Sullivan

Gilbert O'Sullivan

I'm Leaving

Living in a town that's on the brink of being a city

Won't satisfy my soul though the women may be pretty

My mind is made up

I have had enough

I'm leaving here today

Shops, walls, pavements, streets

Is all that I could find

From head to foot and toe to eye

I looked till I was blind

No matter what turns up

I'm leaving here

This place ain't good enough

You might think that I'm being funny

Just 'coz I won't spend my money here

Well let me tell you I have no obection

Except that I can find correction

Everywhere I go

Jump high in the sky unless you're feeling bitter

About walking down an empty street

With gutters full of litter

My mind is made up

I have had enough

I'm leaving here today, hey, hey

I'm going away

You might think that I'm being funny

Just 'coz I won't spend my money here

Well let me tell you I have no objection

Except that I can find correction

Everywhere I go

Jump high in the sky unless you're feeling bitter

About walking down an empty street

With gutters full of litter

My mind is made up

I have had enough

I'm leaving here today, hey, hey

My mind is made up

I have had enough

I'm leaving right away, hey, hey

I'm going away

Getting out of this place

I know I've said it before

But this time I mean it

I'm leaving

Packing my bags and going away

Getting out of this place
