BITTERSWEET ADIEU (Ron Griffiths)
[Iveys demo from "Treacle Toffee World - Further Adventures into the Pop Psych Sounds from the Apple Era, 1967-1969" CD]

Bittersweet Adieu

As the band plays its last set

'Specially for us

An offer we will not forget


There is no place

You can name

We've not been

Coast to coast

From Rochester

To Gretna Green


Bittersweet Adieu

To loving by your, by your side

Those good times are through

And even are the times we cried


There is no place

You can name

We've not been

Coast to coast

From Rochester

To Gretna Green


Bittersweet Adieu

Recording in a day

[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]


There is no place

You can name

We've not been

Coast to coast

From Rochester

To Gretna Green


Bittersweet Adieu

It's goodbye, not au revoir

Other things to do

Maybe, I will be a star


I won't marry

Settle down

Have a son

Not until

I've been around

Had my fun


Bittersweet Adieu

Let's call it a day

Bittersweet Adieu

Love's a gamble, anyway

Bittersweet Adieu

It's called another day

Bittersweet Adieu.
