Pet Shop Boys — Wiedersehen

[Verse 1] Farewell to the mountains Goodbye to the trees So long to the ski slopes Join the absentees [Verse 2] Salzburg is a cradle Rocking you no more Memory the only thing That’s still worth living for [Chorus] Wiedersehen Auf Wiedersehen Wie wir gehen Auf Wiedersehen [Verse 3] Books are in their boxes Manuscripts are packed A dealer expressed interest So paintings were dispatched [Verse 4] The ladies from the village Say tearful good-byes The gardener locks the greenhouse Suspicion in his eyes [Chorus] Wiedersehen Auf Wiedersehen Wie wir gehen Auf Wiedersehen [Verse 5] The world before the war Exquisite in your dreams Still bore the angry children Who only saw extremes [Verse 6] You never saw it coming What was it they lacked? The civilised rejected Modernity attacked [Chorus] Wiedersehen Auf Wiedersehen Wie wir gehen Auf Wiedersehen [Verse 7] Your old friend Freud has helped you Illuminate the hate Find motive in desire But now it’s much too late [Verse 8] The train is on the platform The knife is in your back Your suitcases are sitting On the luggage rack [Chorus] Wiedersehen Auf Wiedersehen Wie wir gehen Auf Wiedersehen
