No Turning Back
Punk Odyssey: No Turning Back on a DIY European Tour
Lyrics
We're heading off to Europe for another fucking tour
We're embarking on another tour in Europe.
Jacko in Scottland, can't understand a fucking word
In Scotland, communication is challenging, possibly due to accent or language differences.
No money in our pockets playing for the English punx
We have little money, but we're performing for English punk audiences.
Drinking at the pubs for the records that we sold
Drinking at pubs with the earnings from sold records.
One week of shows cancelled, with no money in London
Some shows in London got canceled, leading to financial difficulties.
If you think were headed home, you got it all wrong
Contrary to expectations, we are not returning home.
No turning back- no turning back
Emphasizing determination and commitment to continue despite challenges; "No turning back."
No turning back- no turning back
-Take the fucking ferry to France, off we go
Traveling to France involves challenges like border control and hiding in the trunk to cross borders.
No Ecuasorians allowed, border control with machine guns
-Hiding in the trunk, border line has to be crossed
-Riot in Parris, gassing all the fucking punx
There's a riot in Paris, with authorities suppressing punk activities.
Broken down in the mountains, what else can go wrong
Encountering problems like a breakdown in the mountains but continuing to perform and endure the cold.
Playing the French Alps, chopping wood to keep us warm
-Getting paid with wine and bread, freezing in the cold
-If you think were heading home, you got it all fucking wrong
Reiterating that the journey is not leading back home.
Down in Italy, pasta punx made us feel at home
Experiences in Italy, Belgium, and Switzerland, facing challenges like no visa, playing for basic necessities, and enduring cold weather.
Up in Belgium Dirk took care of us four drunk punx
-Livng in the car, playing show after show
-Driving through Switzerland, I made trouble for us all
-No visa, through the woods, cross the border, hide the punx
-5 a.m. show, drunk punx sung all night long
-Getting paid with chocolate, freezing in the cold
-If you think were headed home,you got it all wrong
Reaffirming the commitment to continue the tour despite difficulties.
Up in fucking Holland, hanging with Antidote
Various experiences in Holland, Germany, and encounters with the police, emphasizing the ongoing challenges.
Smoking legal grass, Ellen got us all drunk
-Shows in Germany, chaos punx are all drunk
-Streetpunx all over, Oxymorons at the shows
-Drinking fucking beers, more probles come along
-Riot police outside arresting all the punx
-Getting paid with beer and bread, freezing in the cold
-If you think were headed home, you got it all wrong
-Touring Europe D.I.Y. freezing in the cold
Summing up the DIY (Do It Yourself) tour in Europe, expressing the determination to continue despite the hardships.
If you think were headed home, you got it fucking wrong!
