Pearl City Songtext
von The Fall

In Pearl City
Pearl City
No-one knows, no-one cares
About your world of stocks and shares

I don′t need no riding crop
I don't need no roundabout stop

You′re welcome to Pearl City

See the bank
Bright white trains
You old coots
Retired early

At Pearl City
In Pearl City


Cappuccino and a slice of quiche
It's salad for the new educated 'teach′
Everything is gonna work out fine
They′re sleepin' us in the lec-lecturer line
In Pearl City

In Pearl City

Ye over-counter drugs
Have left you totally bushwhacked

In Pearl City

We asked Vauxhall drivers
What they wanted from a garage
Did ya? Did ya?

At service center on the rock

Pearl City

I don′t need a bird beggin at my knees
I don't need no riding crop
I don′t need no roundabout stop

(Are you on the ball?)
