The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the End o' the World

Herman's Hermits, "End of the World" from Herman's Hermits Retrospective (The Last Angry Man)

Commentary: O, to be an emotionally overwrought teenager again!
"Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
When you don't love me anymore?…

"Why do the bird go on singing?
Why do the stars shine above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love.

"Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said good-bye."
