Icehouse

Icehouse is an Australian rock band, formed as Flowers in 1977 in Sydney. Initially known in Australia for their pub rock style, they later achieved mainstream success playing New Wave and synthpop style music and attained Top Ten singles chart success in both Europe and the U.S. The mainstay of both Flowers and Icehouse has been Iva Davies (singer-songwriter, record producer, guitar, bass, keyboards, oboe) supplying additional musicians as required. The name Icehouse, which was adopted in 1981, comes from an old, cold flat Davies lived in and the strange building across the road populated by itinerant people. more »

We were living in this matchbox 
Well, it must be quite some time 
I was slaving at the steel mill 
Every day on the production line 

And I came home one summer evening 
The place was empty, ain't that strange? 
She left a message on the mirror 
In pink lipstick she signed her name 

It said, I don't like this 
And I don't like that 
And I'm gonna hit the town 
Yes, I'm leaving you 
And I won't be back 
Goodbye, Valentine 

So I called up all my best friends 
I said, "hey, boys, just come around" 
We've howling like a gang of alley cats 
We've up and down and hanging 'round the main 

The postman woke me in the morning 
He was banging on my door 
He said, "I got a postcard from Jamaica 
And a telegram from New York" 

It says, I don't like this 
And I don't like that 
This is such a dirty town 
Well, I've spent all your money 
And it won't be back 
Goodbye, Valentine 

Well, I'm feeling so much better 
Yes, I'm livin' like a king 
I'm on my second bottle of Dr. Good 
And by now I don't feel a thing 

Well, I hope you're happy 
Have a real good time 
'Cause you know I'll do the same 
Yes, I will 
Yes, I will 
Yes, I will 

Later on, I don't remember 
Valentine was on the telephone 
She said, "I'm living with my mother 
And I'm bored, now can I come home? 
Now can I come home?" 

I don't like this 
Don't like that 
Well, excuse me, what's your name? 
But it's too late now 
'Cause I've changed my mind 
It's goodbye, Valentine 

You can take your silly hat collection 
And your sixty pairs of shoes 
Your Madonna records always were a pain 
Your suitcase full of sequins 
Take your bean bag too 
This is goodbye, Valentine 
Goodbye, Valentine 

Well, I don't like this 
And I don't like that, no 
This is goodbye, Valentine
