The tucker box is empty now,   the heart of Kelly's country cleared

D                         A/C#
And the gangers on the southern line

              F                    C
like the steam trains have disappeared

             D    G    Bm              A
pelicans glide,                miracles up in the sky

Will the sisters of the seventies still fight for equal pay

                      D           G     Bm
There's no one on the Reeperbahn

No more blankets handed out for land

in a traveller's trance on the way to the high frontiers

             D       G Bm            A
sleepwalkers stumble, cable cars run aground

D         A/C#         F              C
imaginary enemies from high above the clouds
