Alan Donohoe - Strasbourg Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'll meet you in West Germany
October 1983
I know that freedom was a lie
And your husband was a spy
Say that words are impotent
They can help us pay the rent
I knew for sure there was nothin' left
Except the vodka on your breath

[Chorus]
We'll meet in Strasbourg
Strasbourg
Dann sind wir Helden
We'll meet in Strasbourg

[Verse 3]
The courage that your father plucked
From inside a cattle truck
Will help us fix the exit polls
The children must have rock'n'roll
Surveillance cameras captured dawn
Breaking on the autobahn
I knew for sure our chance was blown
When rifles made us feel at home
[Chorus]
We'll meet in Strasbourg
Strasbourg
Dann sind wir Helden
We'll meet in Strasbourg

We'll meet in Strasbourg
Strasbourg
Dann sind wir Helden
We'll meet in Strasbourg

Eins, zwei, drei, vier!

[Verse 4]
Ideas can change the government
They never listen to our arguments
On TV our friends smashed cement
And pulled down the bastard's monuments
I went outside for a cigarette
I saw things I tried to forget
The news showed us who we had left
And I could smell the vodka on your breath
