"Bittersweet" is a song by Australian rock group Hoodoo Gurus. It was written by Dave Faulkner,[1] released in June 1985 as the lead single from the group's second studio album, Mars Needs Guitars!. It peaked at number 16 on the Australian charts

In 2000, Dave Faulkner said "... I vowed to myself that I would write less comic narratives and try to express my sentiments in a more forthright way. I feel I succeeded with 'Bittersweet' though at the time I didn't think that a) the band would want to play it and b) our audience would want to hear it. I was happily wrong on both counts.".[2]
