The Go-Betweens - Bye Bye Pride Lyrics
A white moon appearsLike a hole in the sky,The mangroves go quiet.In la Brisa de la PalmaA teenage RasputinTakes the sting from a gin,"When a woman learns to walkShe's not dependent anymoreA line front her letter May 24And out on the bayThe current is strongA boat can go lost.But I didn't know someoneCould be so lonesomeDidn't know a heartCould be tied upAnd held for ransom.Until you take your shoesAnd go outside, stride over stride.Walk to that tide becauseThe door is open wide.Turned the fan offAnd went for a walkBy the lights down on Shield Street.The birds in the treesOpen their wings ...He goes home again.He dreams resistance,They talk commitment,Things change over long distance.Took the shirt off his backThe eyes from his headAnd left him for dead.But I didn't know someoneCould be so lonesomeDidn't know a heartCould be tied upAnd held for ransom.Until you take your shoesAnd go outside, stride over stride,Walk to that tide becauseThe door is open wide.Little lies, they'll take your pride.Until you take your shoesAnd go outside. stride over stride,Walk to that tide becauseThe door is open wide.Stride over strideWalk to that tide.Bye, Bye Pride.Because the door is open wide.The door is always open wide.The door is always open wide.
