SHE'S LEAVING HOME
Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her hankerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free.
She (We gave her most of our lives)
Is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives)
Home (We gave her everything money could buy)
She's leaving home after living alone
For so many years. Bye, bye
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy our baby's gone.
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
How could she do this to me.
She (We never thought of ourselves)
Is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)
Home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living alone
For so many years. Bye, bye
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade.
She (What did we do that was wrong?)
Is having (We didn't know it was wrong)
Fun (Fun is the one thing that money can't buy)
Something inside that was always denied
For so many years. Bye, bye
She's leaving home. Bye, bye

The news clipping read:
Melanie Coe--London Daily Mail, Feb. 27, 1967.
"A-Level Girl dumps car and vanishes". Seventeen year old Melanie Coe, studying for her A-level examinations at Skinners Grammer School in Stamford Hill, London, ran away from home leaving a mink coat, diamond rings, and her own car. "I cannot imagine why she should run away, she has everything here", her father was quoted as saying.
In 1963, at age thirteen-year-old, Melanie Coe won a mime competition on the British dance-programme Ready Steady Go. Paul McCartney of the Beatles presented her with the award.
Supposedly, Sir Faul lifted the story out of the Daily Mail and claimed it to be his inspiration.
