Shaktar Donetsk Lyrics - Joe Strummer And The Mescaleros

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
