"Say Goodbye" was the first single from Human Frailty, the fourth studio album by Australian pub rockers Hunters & Collectors, and it went out on 17 February 1986 on seven-inch and 12-inch, a couple of months before the album followed in April. It reached number 24 on Australia's Kent Music Report and number 20 in New Zealand.
It's a group composition from a big, brassy outfit: Mark Seymour singing and playing guitar, John Archer on bass, Doug Falconer on drums, Michael Waters on keyboards and trombone, Jack Howard on trumpet and Jeremy Smith on French horn. Seymour said he set out to portray a woman on the attack, and the first part of the song, where she does the talking, is something he overheard through a wall.
