About Part Company

"Part Company" is the first single from The Go-Betweens' third album, Spring Hill Fair. It was released in August 1984 by Sire Records with "Just a King in Mirrors" as the B-side. In the UK a 12" single was also released on Sire. The single failed to make an impact on the charts. In November 1983 the band recorded a number of demos commissioned by Rough Trade for their third album, at Pathway Studios, with producer John Brand. "Newton Told Me" was re-recorded after originally being considered as a B-side for "Man O'Sand to Girl O'Sea" and recorded by the band in May 1983. "Part Company" was also re-recorded in May 1984 for its subsequent inclusion in Spring Hill Fair. more »

Come and have a look, beside me
A fine line of tears, part company
That's her handwriting that's the way she writes
From the first letter I got to this, her Bill of Rights, part company

And what will I miss? 
Her cruelty, her unfaithfulness
Her fun, her love, her kiss, part company
That's her handwriting that's the way she writes
Like mud in the September rain it comes, back to me

Part, part, I said part
Part company made her men disappear
Cut my swath and spread my fear
Before we'd met, I hadn't wiped my feet
Seen myself naked or, part company

And I said it before, do I have to say it again
A fine line of tears, part company
That's her handwriting, that's the way she writes
From her first words to this, our last night
Part, part, I said part
Part company made her men disappear
Cut my swath and spread my fear
