Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros - Shaktar Donetsk Lyrics

Possible chance, storm
Possible chance, gale

Welcome to Britain, in the third Millennium
This is the diary of a Macedonian, Macedonian
He went to Britain in the back of a lorry
"Don't worry, don't worry, don't hurry"
Said the man with the plan

He said, "If you really wanna go
You'll get there in the end"
You really wanna go
Alive or dead my friend

Well, you can levitate you know
Long as the money's good you're in
Or if you really wanna go
You'll get there in the end

He had the woolly scarf of, Shaktar Donetsk
Nay, the banner of freedom wrung around his neck
Inherited from his father
One of the Ukraine exiles of Yugoslavia

He said, "You'll get there in the end"
You really wanna go
Alive or dead my friend

Well, you can levitate you know
Long as the money's good you're in
Or if you really wanna go
You'll get there in the end

Yeah, oh, he got a little postcard
Yeah, oh, everybody got a dream
Yeah, oh, he always got it with him
Yeah, oh, it's of a nineteen twenty-five
Red telephone box with Wembley in the background
Them twin tower vandal eye

Will he find a two bar heater
Waitin' for him in two rooms
Above the cut rate telephone anywhere place
He got off the train in Shadwell
Disappeared without trace

He said, "You'll get there in the end"
If you really wanna go
Alive or dead my friend

Well, you can levitate you know
Long as the money's good you're in
Or if you really wanna go
You'll get there in the end

Oiling the grinding city underside
Treating each flake of rust all over Humberside
You know a blocked generator could cut power
To the city system

Well, you'll get there in the end
Alive or dead my friend
You'll get there in the end
Alive or dead my friend

If you really wanna go
You'll get there in the end
If you really wanna go
Alive or dead my friend

If you really wanna go
You'll get there in the end
If you really wanna go
Alive or dead my friend

If you really wanna go
You'll get there in the end
If you really wanna go
Alive or dead my friend

If you really wanna go
Long as the money's good you're in
If you really wanna go
You'll get there in the end
