SONG FACTS

Written by Kirsty

1983 single
Berlin

1985 album
Kirsty MacColl

Thanks to Sarah J for help with the lyrics. 

* There was a discotheque called "Superfly" at the Kurfuerstendamm in the 70s. 

It was closed because of too much drug use after a police raid. I think it was connected with the "High Fly" or maybe the same
location renamed?

Later the gay discotheque "Construction" would appear in the same location. Thanks to Manuela/US for their research!

Berlin

Berlin

Love the sight and love the sound
I wish that I could stick around
Berlin

You never laid a mark on me
Well you're no gent if you know what I mean
Berlin

Come and get your body fried
And see the wall electrified
Berlin

No rewards and no regrets
They're bricked up till the kids forget
Berlin

Climb at night and see the lights
Take your aim and set your sights
Berlin

Give me the reason
There is no answer
You ask her why
She is a strange dancer

Come and get your body fried
And see the wall electrified
Berlin

Give me the reason
There is no answer
You want a reason
Blood is a reason

No rewards and no regrets
They're bricked up till the kids forget
Berlin

Five nights, I nearly died
Park yourselves in Superfly*
And watch the boys as they go by
Berlin

Give me the reason
There is no answer
You ask her why
She is a strange dancer

Love the sight and love the sound
I wish that I could stick around
Berlin

Give me the reason
There is no answer
You want a reason
Blood is a reason

You never laid a mark on me
Well you're no gent if you know what I mean
Berlin
