Gateway to Europe |
A crooked pub propped up the corner of the street |
Opposite a furniture shop called Everything but the Girl |
Rocket shaped signs declared Spacemade |
A brother of a brother-in-law tore all the houses down |
Moved the people to the outskirts |
To places where the buses run |
But no one knows quite where they are |
I’d just sold my bass guitar |
I ran down Spring Bank in the rain |
Tears mingling with the water |
I knew it had to be though I knew there’d be some pain |
We’ve got a gig tonight |
We need someone with a car |
Amplifiers, stolen PA |
My Teisco Top Twenty guitar |
Some people never cross the river |
The accents are different on the other side of town |
Winter sets in amid the stench of fog and fish |
Free 'n' Easy Night and Carlton Bingo |
They say they’re going to build a bridge |
Connecting nowhere in particular with |
Where no one wants to go |
Old glories fade away |
Derelicted houses, the ghosts of yesterday |
Ruined factories on the east side of town |
They’re slated for revival so they’ll soon be coming down |
I’d just sold my bass guitar |
I ran down Spring Bank in the rain |
Tears mingling with the water |
I knew it had to be though I knew there’d be some pain |
We’ve got a gig tonight |
We need someone with a car |
Amplifiers, stolen PA |
My Teisco Top Twenty guitar |
Make way for Europe |
It’s the start of something big |
Gateway to Europe |
Gateway to Europe |
Gateway to Europe |
It’s the start of something big |
