Die Toten Hosen

Goodbye Garageland

There's no garageland no more
Only memories spread across the floor

To the sound of the guns of Brixton
We were fighting complete control
We felt like we were prisoners
In a save European home
We had 48 hours at the weekends
To have a little riot of our own
The cities of the dead were burning bright
And Johnny came marching home

There's no garageland no more
We're left with memories lying on the floor
Did you believe what they said?
Hear the sound of hate and war
Death or Glory - we survived it all
No more riot on the Westway

It seemed so good to be alive
And to dream of better times
You gave us hope and we had enough rope
We were ready for the fight
But rebellion turned to money
As soon as the sun went down
Up all night we were flying high
Till we got the wake-up call

There's no garageland no more
We're left with memories lying on the floor
Did you believe what they said?
Hear the sound of hate and war
Death or Glory - we survived it all
