A cheap holiday in other peoples misery !
I don't wanna holiday in the sun
I wanna go to the new belsen
I wanna see some history
cos now I got a reasonable economy !
Now I got a reason
Now I got reason
and I'm still waiting
Now I got a reason
Now I got a reason
to be waiting
the Berlin wall
In sensurround sound in a two inch wall
I was waiting for the communist call
I didn't ask for sunshine and I got world war three
I'm looking over the wall and they're looking at me !
Oh I got a reason
now I got a reason
and I'm still waiting
Now I got a reason
Now I got a reason
to be waiting
The Berlin wall
They're staring all night and
they're staring all day
I had no reason to be here at all
but now I got a reason
it's no real reason and I'm waiting
at Berlin wall
I gotta go over the Berlin wall
I don't understand this bit at all
I don't understand it
Claustrophobia there's too much paranoia
there's too many closets I went in before
and now I got a reason it's no real reason
to be waiting !
The Berlin wall
I wanna go over the Berlin wall
I don't understand this bit at all
Cheap dialogue cheap essential scenery
I wanna go over the Berlin wall
please don't be waiting for me.
I don't wanna holiday in the sun
I wanna go to the new belsen
I wanna see some history
cos now I got a reasonable economy !
Now I got a reason
Now I got reason
and I'm still waiting
Now I got a reason
Now I got a reason
to be waiting
the Berlin wall
In sensurround sound in a two inch wall
I was waiting for the communist call
I didn't ask for sunshine and I got world war three
I'm looking over the wall and they're looking at me !
Oh I got a reason
now I got a reason
and I'm still waiting
Now I got a reason
Now I got a reason
to be waiting
The Berlin wall
They're staring all night and
they're staring all day
I had no reason to be here at all
but now I got a reason
it's no real reason and I'm waiting
at Berlin wall
I gotta go over the Berlin wall
I don't understand this bit at all
I don't understand it
Claustrophobia there's too much paranoia
there's too many closets I went in before
and now I got a reason it's no real reason
to be waiting !
The Berlin wall
I wanna go over the Berlin wall
I don't understand this bit at all
Cheap dialogue cheap essential scenery
I wanna go over the Berlin wall
please don't be waiting for me.

(and excuse me here, i specialize in prentious kuckle dragging interpretations, so if your not into that, move on nothing to see here)
more along the lines of pointing out with pure punk the utter hypocrisy of the so called 'fee' democratic capitalist countries like England which are in some ways no better than their pinko counterparts of the day in the way they exploit human suffering to further their gains
i.e.- making the green off of concentration camps as some sort of avant garde tourist resorts
*Belsen was a GAS!*
i think this is an underrated gem personaly, where 'God Save' and 'Anarchy' seem to be cited as the primary classics
Rotten starts off with a brilliant little ryhme, immediately emasculatly middle class mores
than paints a gitty sketch of going over' the berlin wall in the tones of twitchy paranoid tourist
but does anyone find the real deal breaker -"And there looooking at meeeeeeeee!"-
to be a example of that famous nietzsche saying:
When i look into the abyss, the abyss looks back at me'....?
its like the narrator has been taught to fear communism as the greatest evil of the ages and is horrified to find his counter parts on the other 'side'
see the exact same thing in him
theyre linked together like two sides of a coin
there is no 'other' here, no monster
just reflections in a mirror or something
sorry
i think its just pretty fucking poetic for a punk song
Rotten was clearly the brains of the outfit
he had important things to get off his chest it seems
your right, this might be my favorite SP song.
its pretty epic.
he had important things to get off his chest it seems"
Couldn't have said it better myself.
they saw the paranoi all around the place and were compelled to write a song
"Cheap dialogue cheap essential scenery"
this cant be true - wrong movie
thats how it must have felt wen you come in from outside
and if you dont run fast enough therl be nowher left to go
like for the rest who never left again
stupid holidays in sunny dictatorships (in guarded reservoirs)
and westberlin
big "prisoncamp" surrounded by a very very conservative(they didnt had rockn roll; they had revuetheater and still freaked out about punx in the late 80s) regime(and the wall of cause)
and wellguarded with watchtowers (imagine: sittig at the street, drinking beer while they watch you)
with a the squater/punkscene distrikt right at the wall
british, amerikan, french soldiers were there as well
they even made a manouver inside this district.
It was somehow a realy strange live
on the deklared and prepared ww3 batlefield wich still wore the scares of ww2 with lacking roofs and maschinegunnbulletholes along the houses
song always reminds me at those times
