Pet Shop Boys - Wiedersehen lyrics
[Pet Shop Boys - Wiedersehen lyrics]
Goodbye to the trees
So long to the ski slopes join the absentees
Salzburg is a cradle rocking you no more
Memory the only thing
That’s still worth living for
Wiedersehen auf Wiedersehen
Wie wir gehen auf Wiedersehen
Books are in their boxes
Manuscripts are packed
A dealer expressed interest
So paintings were dispatched
The ladies from the village
Say tearful good-byes
The gardener locks the greenhouse
Suspicion in his eyes
Wiedersehen auf Wiedersehen
Wie wir gehen auf Wiedersehen
The world before the war
Exquisite in your dreams
Still bore the angry children
Who only saw extremes
You never saw it coming
What was it they lacked?
The civilised rejected modernity attacked
Wiedersehen auf Wiedersehen
Wie wir gehen auf Wiedersehen
Your old friend Freud has helped you
Illuminate the hate find motive in desire
But now it’s much too late
The train is on the platform
The knife is in your back
Your suitcases are sitting
On the luggage rack
Wiedersehen auf Wiedersehen
Wie wir gehen auf Wiedersehen
