Lyrics

[Intro] Possible chance, storm, possible chance, gale [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] He said, If you really wanna go, 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 [Verse 2] He had the wooly scarf of Shaktar Donetsk Nay, the banner of freedom Wound around his neck Inherited from his father One of the Ukraine exiles of Yugoslavia [Chorus] He said, If you really wanna go, 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 [Verse 3] Yo-oh, he's got a little postcard Yo-oh, everybody got a dream Yo-oh, he's always got it with him Yo-oh, It's of a nineteen twenty-five Red telephone box With Wembley in the background Them twin tower vandal-aye Will he find, a two-bar heater Waiting for him, in two rooms Above the cut-rate telephone anywhere place? He got off the train in Shadwell Disappeared without trace [Chorus] He said you'll get there in the end If you really wanna go, alive or dead my friend Oh, 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 [Verse 4] Oiling the grinding city underside Treating each flake of rust all over Humberside You know how a blocked generator Could cut power to the city system [Chorus] 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
