[00:08.73] | We had no way of staying afloat, |
[00:13.02] | We had to leave on a ferryboat. |
[00:17.40] | Economic refugees, |
[00:21.66] | On the run to Germany. |
[00:25.85] | We had the back of Maggie's hand, |
[00:30.14] | Times were tough in Geordieland. |
[00:34.44] | We got wor tools and working gear |
[00:36.54] | And humped it all from Newcastle to here. |
[00:42.99] | Why aye man. |
[00:45.10] | Why aye, why aye man. |
[00:47.24] | Why aye man, |
[00:49.38] | Why aye, why aye man. |
[00:51.52] | Why aye man. |
[00:53.63] | Why aye, why aye man. |
[00:55.86] | Why aye man, |
[00:58.00] | Why aye, why aye man. |
[01:16.12] | We're nomad tribes, travelling boys, |
[01:20.41] | In the dust and dirt and the racket and the noise. |
[01:24.88] | Drills and hammers, diggers and picks, |
[01:29.11] | Mixing concrete, laying bricks. |
[01:33.33] | There's English, Irish, Scots, the lot. |
[01:37.57] | United Nations' what we've got. |
[01:41.99] | Brickies, chippies, every trade. |
[01:44.13] | German building, British made. |
[01:50.69] | Why aye man. |
[01:52.80] | Why aye, why aye man. |
[01:54.89] | Why aye man, |
[01:57.00] | Why aye, why aye man. |
[01:59.19] | Why aye man. |
[02:01.39] | Why aye, why aye man. |
[02:03.43] | Why aye man, |
[02:05.59] | Why aye, why aye man. |
[02:24.48] | Nay more work on Maggie's farm. |
[02:28.99] | Haddaway down the autobahn. |
[02:33.17] | Mine's a Portakabin bed, |
[02:37.26] | Or a bunk in a Nissen hut instead. |
[02:57.84] | There's plenty Deutschmarks here to earn. |
[03:02.14] | And German tarts are wundersch鰊. |
[03:06.46] | German beer is chemical free. |
[03:10.81] | Germany's alright with me. |
[03:15.09] | Sometimes I miss my river Tyne, |
[03:19.32] | But you're my pretty fr鋟lein. |
[03:23.80] | Tonight we'll drink the old town dry, |
[03:25.85] | Keep wor spirit levels high. |
[03:32.42] | Why aye man. |
[03:34.51] | Why aye, why aye man. |
[03:36.67] | Why aye man, |
[03:38.74] | Why aye, why aye man. |
[03:40.94] | Why aye man. |
[03:43.10] | Why aye, why aye man. |
[03:45.30] | Why aye man, |
[03:47.40] | Why aye, why aye man. |
