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
