Stiff Little Fingers — Gate 49 lyrics

Lyrics

When I’m away I think of you
And how you’re where I want to be And there’s on thing I gotta do Get back to you to be free to be me
Cos anytime I don’t like it I keep a doorway in my mind
When I want to be with you
I just walk through Gate 49
It gets me down and makes me sick
To be somewhere I hate to be So I’ll escape I’ll take a trip
I’ll fly so high to be free to be me
Cos anytime I don’t like it I find that doorway in my mind
When I want to be with you
I just walk through Gate 49
Just for a time though miles away
I can put up with what must be But pretty soon I’ll have to take
My one way out to be free to be me
I may be tired of life itself
But here bores me I like it somewhere else
When I’m away I think of you
And how you’re where I want to be And there’s one thing I gotta do Get back to you to be free to be me
Where I’m mine all the time just behind Gate 49
