Lyrics and translation Kevin Coyne - New Motorway
In
1978,
they
opened
up
the
gates
En
1978,
ils
ont
ouvert
les
portes
They
said
it
was
too
late
to
be
real
mates
Ils
ont
dit
qu'il
était
trop
tard
pour
être
de
vrais
copains
But
the
grass
grew
over
the
motorway
and
I
Mais
l'herbe
a
poussé
sur
l'autoroute
et
j'ai
Heard
the
children
sing
Daddy,
you're
on
your
way
Entendu
les
enfants
chanter
Papa,
tu
es
en
route
The
factories
they
roared,
I
could
hear
the
call
Les
usines
rugissaient,
j'entendais
l'appel
They
were'nt
sweeping
up
your
floors
Ils
ne
balayaient
pas
tes
sols
They
were
laughing
and
loving
once
more
Ils
riaient
et
s'aimaient
à
nouveau
But
the
grass
grew
over
the
motorway
and
I
heard
the
children
sing
Mais
l'herbe
a
poussé
sur
l'autoroute
et
j'ai
entendu
les
enfants
chanter
Daddy,
you're
on
your
way
Papa,
tu
es
en
route
The
rhythm
of
life
for
the
world
and
its
wife
Le
rythme
de
la
vie
pour
le
monde
et
sa
femme
They've
thrown
away
their
knives
Ils
ont
jeté
leurs
couteaux
They're
touching
first
time
in
their
lives
Ils
se
touchent
pour
la
première
fois
de
leur
vie
But
the
grass
