Garage 59 Songtext
von The Workhouse

With the first click of the latch
He opened the door on the future
Saw the way the sun shone
On the parquet floors
From the backstreets
The death and disease
It seemed like the house
With the golden lights

From Vauxhall Viva to Ford Cortina
To colour from black and white


Polaroids show the decades pass
There was a warmth that I felt too
Safe at last from cradle to grave
But in the shadow of the atomic age

From Vauxhall Viva to Ford Cortina
To colour from black and white

With the first click of the latch
He opened the door on the future
All the optimism of the post war years
In the blink of an eye
A lifetime passed
And with the last click of the latch
He closed the door on the past
