Текст песни Gateway to Europe - Wreckless Eric

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
It′s the start of something big
