It’s Over, It’s Over, It’s Over

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, I won’t look back,
Won’t look back, my bridge has been crossed.
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, I’ll walk away,
I’ll stay away, cause my heart’s been lost.
Losing is not a happy thing when the stakes are high,
Not when you lose your lover on a simple goodbye.

Frank Sinatra, “It’s Over, It’s Over, It’s Over” (lyrics by Don Stanford & Matt Dennis, 1960)

I’m partial to the Archers of Loaf, “Greatest of All Time”:
They caught and drowned the front man
Of the world’s worst rock & roll band.
He was out of luck, because nobody gave a f**k.
The jury gathered all around the aqueduct.
Drinking and laughing and lighting up.
Reminiscing just how bad he sucked, singing
Throw him in the river.
Throw him in the river.
Throw him in the river.
Throw the bastard in the river.

Or, in honor of Dean’s favorite muse, Wyclef Jean, how about a little “Gone ’til November”?
Every time I make a run, girl, you turn around and cry
I ask myself why, oh why
See, you must understand, I can’t work a 9 to 5
So I’ll be gone ’til November
Said I’ll be gone ’til November, I’ll be gone ’til November
Yo, tell my girl, yo, I’ll be gone ’til November
I’ll be gone ’til November, I’ll be gone ’til November
Yo, tell my girl, yo, I’ll be gone ’til November
January, February, March, April, May
I see you cryin’, but girl, I can’t stay
I’ll be gone ’til November, I’ll be gone ’til November
And give a kiss to my mother”
