Riverbank - Live, Zeche Bochum 06.03.1983

This next sing is from Honi Soit
It's a song about a park, about park
A park, Liverpool comes to the mind easily, it's called Liver-, Riverbank

All along the riverbank, nobody seems to know
They heard nothing, saw even less of the hunger in their soul

Down they came to look around, around that riverbank
For names or numbers or anything they could find
Written there on the wall

'Cause somebody seemed to know but no one was prepared to tell
Anything they'd learned to love about long ago
Anything they'd learned to love about long ago
And the cold people getting colder
Like babysitters in their graves
Lying there like heretic vicars moving on

Send them running on ahead pulling out the windy trash instead
Like foul mouth people open-heart surgery creatures
Moving out inside of you

But all along the riverbank, nobody will ever know
What fools and their monies sailors and their honeys
Got stung one evening there
'Cause the stones around their necks are the stones on the Riverbank
The stones around their necks are the stones on the Riverbank

Thank you
Thank you very much
