Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Down by the river where the factories lie
And the west gate stretches across the sky
I've lived North and I've moved South
But I always return to the river mouth
ย
Out from the city all the secrets pour
Through the pipes that we laid a hundred years ago
Love and ruin in the strianing wells
Rags and bodies and teeth and gold
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
A woman of science in the tower above
A laboratory, a labor of love
There she worked while the war waged on
Never to marry or she'd lose it all (ooh)
ย
When I was young I never knew
That I'd be brought back here to you
No stranger thing than how we're drawn
Back to the place from which we're from
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
