About Good-Bye Bad Times

"Good-Bye Bad Times" is a song by the British singer and composer Philip Oakey and producer Giorgio Moroder. It was written by Oakey and Moroder and recorded for the album Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder. Released as a single in the UK in June 1985 as the follow-up to Oakey and Moroder's 1984 hit "Together In Electric Dreams"; it reached number 44 in the singles charts and remained in the charts for 5 weeks. It was moderately successful in Australia, where it peaked at number 26. Virgin Records had high expectations for the single but it failed to sell in the quantities forecast. After a final single "Be My Lover Now" the short partnership between Oakey and Moroder effectively ended. Oakey then returned to work with his band The Human League full-time.

I'm going to change my luck tonight
Don't want to cry anymore
Not going to take what fortune brings
I'm going to make my own law

[Chorus]
Goodbye bad times
Goodbye ever more
Goodbye bad times

I'm going to walk out your door
I think I'm happy now
And I think I'm in love
I'm free at last somehow
I'm going to stay here above

[Chorus]

I'm going to walk out your door
And now the sun is shining down
The way that I foresaw
And if I have to face the clouds
I'll beat them like before

[Chorus]

I'm going to walk out your door
And now the sun is shining down
The way that I foresaw
And if I have to face the clouds
I'll beat them like before

[Chorus]

I'm going to walk out your door

[Chorus]

I'm going to walk
