What is your goodbye song for Europe?

I am sure tonight as Big Ben strikes 11pm you will all be waving your Union Jacks and joining in a rousing chorus of Rule Britannia. But what song symbolises the UK’s leaving of the EU?

For me it has to be this classic from the Queen of Country herself – Miss Dolly Parton:

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I’ll go but I know
I’ll think of you each step of the way

And I will always love you
And I will always love you
Bittersweet memories
That’s all I have, and all I’m taking with me
So goodbye, please don’t you cry
‘Cause we both know I’m not what you need
And I will always love you
I will always love you
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you’ve dreamed
I wish you and happiness
But above all, I wish you love
And I will always love you
And I will always love you
I will always love you

And what about the EU side? Maybe this masterpiece of lost love from the King himself?

Maybe I didn’t love you

Quite as often as I could have
And maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second best
Girl I’m sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
And maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
I guess I never told you
I am so happy that you’re mine
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me
Tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
And give me
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
I’ll keep you satisfied
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind (you were always on my mind)
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind (you were always on my mind)
You were always on my mind

What are your suggestions?
