but think about it . . . it really IS a long way back (to germany).
What? Only one comment? And no one saying how this song represents extreme loneliness in just four lines? (the last line is repeated twice).
I love this song, one of Dee Dee's best.
man, i never noticed that there are only four lines! very cool lyrics
I have seen this song billed as "It's a long way back (to Germany)". I love how simplistic the lyrics are! Pure Ramones.
Dee Dee spent time in Europe. I think he was talking about how the German soldiers retreating back to Germany during WW2.\n\nIn the Netherlands, if your bike comes up missing, you say "A German took my bike." They did indeed steal them all because it was a long way back to Germany.
Song is actually called "It's A Long Way Back to Germany"
the back cover of the album and lyric sheet calls the track "It's A Long Way Back", no Germany.
