BerlinI went to see the sights in BerlinStood before the Reichstag in BerlinI slept in the EastAnd walked down to the WestIn BerlinAnd I walked along the wallI walked along the wallI walked along the wallIn Berlin, BerlinNazis started fires in BerlinPeople died for ideas in BerlinI held onto my brotherAnd thought about my motherIn BerlinAnd I walked along the wallI walked along the wallI walked along the wallIn Berlin, BerlinThere are ghosts there saying don't forgetThere are ghosts thereYou must never forget there are ghosts thereGhosts there, ghosts there...And they walk along the wallGhosts walk along the wallGhosts walk along the wallIn Berlin, BerlinWritten 2nd to 4th September 2007Words and music by Eddie CooneyIn June this year my brother, Steve, and I finally made the trip to Berlin. The main reason for going was, of course, beer and rock 'n' roll but for both of us it was also a pilgrimage of sorts. We needed to see the city with our own eyes. We needed perspective. We saw what remains of the wall, the Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate and Checkpoint Charlie. To see the wall is to marvel at how ridiculous the situation was and to be astonished that it was built around the whole city of West Berlin. I've seen many pictures of what the area around the Reichstag and Brandenburg Gate looked like during the cold war but to see it in modern times is a delight. You can drink an expensive coffee at Starbucks within the shadow of the Gate and the area in front of the Reichstag is parkland. People sat around in the sun, relaxing. From the steps of the Reichstag Hitler once addressed mass rallies of Nazis and gave his awful, bigoted, anti-Semitic, evil speeches. As we drank our expensive coffees at Starbucks I said, 'Definitely not what Hitler intended,' to my brother. It was a joy.Throughout our short stay in Berlin I was constantly aware of where I was and what had happened there. I was constantly reminded of people dying for freedom, for ideas or for very little reason at all. I was reminded of the Holocaust. I was reminded of those who tried to cross the wall. I was reminded of those who did not bow down to the Nazis or the Stasi. I also thought about my mother and what she had been through as a child. This came as a surprise. I hadn't expected it but Berlin was her capital city and I don't think she ever went.'Berlin' is a song about all these things, which might not be obvious from the simple lyric in which I hope I accurately state some truths. Berlin is a nice city. You should go there. You can lie on the grass in the very place where Nazis listened to Hitler talking shit and then you can think to yourself, 'Fuck you Hitler! I fancy a coffee.'
