It’s been a long time since I’ve been close to you
It’s been a long time since I’ve been sad
It’s been a while since I’ve really spent time with you
Wish I could take back the times that I had
The only thing that you every really did for me
was make me oh so miserable
And the hope that I never see your face again
is anything but questionable
I hope this is goodbye
I hope this is goodbye
There was a time that I thought you were a friend to me
I think those times I was probably just drunk
And if they offered a test about being a good friend
I’d put money down that you’d surely flunk
The only thing that you ever really took from me
were my records to sell them for coke
Now all I have left is this heart in my chest
and my happiness helping me cope
I hope this is goodbye
I hope this is goodbye
I hope this is goodbye
I hope this is goodbye
It’s been a long time since I’ve been close to you
It’s been a long time since I’ve been sad
It’s been a while since I’ve really spent time with you
Wish I could take back the times that I had
The only thing that you every really did for me
was make me oh so miserable
And the hope that I never see your face again
is anything but questionable
There was a time that I thought you were a friend to me
I think those times I was probably just drunk
And if they offered a test about being a good friend
I’d put money down that you’d surely flunk
The only thing that you ever really took from me were my records to hawk them for coke
Now all I have left is this heart in my chest,
your dishonesty helping me cope
I hope this is goodbye
I hope this is goodbye
I hope this is goodbye
I hope this is goodbye
I hope this is goodbye
I hope this is goodbye
I hope this is goodbye
I hope this is goodbye
I hope this is goodbye
I hope this is goodbye
I hope this is goodbye
I hope this is goodbye
I hope this is goodbye
I hope this is goodbye
I hope this is goodbye
I hope this is goodbye

    General Comment:"Green Beers" refers to VB's. VB=Victoria Bitter, it's a common beer here in Australia and on their last tour they said that that's where they got the name.

    I imaigine the song is about the tour manager being a bad friend and it's named after VB's cos it's set while they were on tour in Australia at some point.

    General Comment:I fucking love the title of this song, it reminds me of good st. patricks day memories. I agree with the comment below me about it being a perfect song to drop a subtle hint to a soon to-be ex.

    I have been listening to ALK3 since they first came out and they still amaze me with their music. The new cd is good and I think it will be one of their more popular main stream cd's. I do not think they have sold out in any way, even though they have moved towards a more radio friendly sound, which I despise most main stream music, but trio will always be one of my favorite bands. Their lyrics have always hit home with me and have helped me through some tough times. I am a huge fan of metal music but mainly death metal and yet I still love ALK3. I hope this cd has mainstream success for them, they deserve it after all of these years.

    This is one of my favorite songs along with goodbye forever, all on black and old school reasons.

    ALK3 still kicks ass

    General Comment:To me, this song is a not-entirely subtle hint to a friend that's more destructive than a friend should be.

    General Comment:this song is ambiguous, and all the better for it - it's not only about an ex partner, but also about alcoholism. if you read the lyrics with this in mind, all will become clear.

    General Comment:this song is my life right now. i met a girl, fell for her, and she left me for her ex. i wish i could play this song for her and tell her to go fuck herself. its funny how perfect this song is for me though. the night we met we got drunk together, maybe it was just the alcohol. i wish i could take it all back. i wish i never met her at all. i hope this is goodbye.

    General Comment:I know its taken a while, but..

    Jaked = totally hammered
    lol
    the song is about trying to break matts alcohol dependency. Though it does make a smashingly great breakup song because.. we all know matt loves beer like he loves a woman.
