Lyrics for Germany from the Real album (from Tony Reay on YouTube)
There’s a word or words in the final verse I can’t quite make out.
Germany
Oh won’t you take me by the hand
And show me round this foreign land
I cannot stay too long in Germany
The streets of gold are oh so clean
I cannot tell where I’ve just been
I must not stay too long in Germany
Now if we speak in foreign tongue
I won’t remember what I’ve done
And I won’t stay too long in Germany
The flowers in my room will die
The sun might shine but I must fly
I cannot stay long in Germany
Is this the banquet of the west
And what will happen to the rest
If I should stay too long in Germany
The junk is stretched out on the street
The finest you could ever meet
The? … German hearts fraternity
Small correction
The flowers in my room will die
The sun might shine but I must fly
I cannot stay too long in Germany
Correction for the final verse.
The junkies stretched out on the street
The finest you could ever meet
But they need German hospitality.
