Songs About Leaving

Declan A Walsh

On the day of the announcement that Britain has voted to leave the EU, this might be a good time to think of "leaving" songs, namely songs with "leave" or its derivatives in the titles! Before I give some examples, please refrain from straying into political discussion - wrong forum, etc!

Some examples that I know:
If You Leave Me Now - Chicago
Only When You Leave - Spandau Ballet
Leave Me Alone - Michael Jackson
Leaving on a Jet Plane - John Denver / Peter, Paul and Mary
Don't Leave Me this Way - Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes / Thelma Houston / The Communards

I lost my teeth on the edge of a glass
And it’s fun while it lasts and it lasts and it lasts
I am drunken style and inherited class
I am queen at the bar, I am kept for the farce
And the water laps at the harbourside
And these salon walls are petrified
And we’re drunk on style and inherited class
And these salon walls were built to last
So sit with me and we’ll raise a glass
To Europe

The first song I could think of, since the album it's taken from is called Songs About Leaving.

There's banging on the wall
It's 5 am I've got no sleep at all
Just thoughts of how I might
Struggle through tomorrow
Too much time in one day
Too much time to occupy
With boring thoughts
Boring moods
Boring bedtimes
Won't tell a single soul
That my soul's gone
It's hard to write this song
It's all a joke
It's all been wrote down by
someone that's probably dead

I might be leaving soon
I might be leaving soon

I was reminded of this song years ago before the Fiscal Treaty. Ireland was in the € and Britain was out. Today is another day to sing it.
