[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
