Lyrics Intercity linie nr. 4 Gunter Gabriel

 1.147

Intercity linie nr. 4


Ich sitze im Intercity von Hamburg über Dortmund nach
Frankfurt und ich denke zurück an die Zeit
Als diese
Strecke gebaut wurde.

Eine halbe Autostunde draußen vor der Stadt

Da ist seit vielen Wochen mein Quartier

Da baue ich für die Eisenbahn mit 25 Mann
Die Intercity linie Nr. 4.

17 Kilometer lang wird der neue Strang

Und irgendwann fährt hier einmal ein Zug

Für harte Arbeit wenig Lohn

Am liebsten liefe ich davon

Und ich hab' Iängst bis oben hin genug.

Intercity Linie Nummer 4.
Was hast du nur gemacht aus mir?
Getränkt mit unserm Schweiß ist jeder Meter Gleis.
Intercity Linie Nummer 4.

In der Früh um drei Uhr
Da ist meine Nacht vorbei.
Nur starker Kaffee macht mich wieder klar.
Ich nehme meine SchaufeS
Meine Hacke und 'n Bier

Und 25 Mann
Die folgen mir.

Regen
Sturm und Sonnenschein
Das ist hier ganz egal

Denn in drei Wochen muß die Strecke steh'n.
Am Abend sind wir völlig down
Und zu kaputt für Schnaps und Frau'n

Wenn wir in der Wellblechbude schlafen geh'n.

Intercity Linie Nummer 4
. . .
Heute um die Mittagszeit
Da kam ein Güterzug

Und das Signal hat einer überhört

Der Zug war schneller noch als er

Er konnte nicht mal schrein

Fünf Kinder
Eine Frau sind jetzt allein!

Wir standen wie versteinert da
Mit Tränen im Gesicht

25 Mann so hart wie Stahl
Und einer hob die Faust und schrie:
Das ist nun der Dank für diesen gottverdammten Schienenstrang !

Intercity Linie Nummer 4
. . .

Und irgendwann
Da gibt dann ein Minister
Die neue Linie frei für den Verkehr.
Bei Kaviar und Sekt
Da vergißt er

Daß ohne uns die Strecke hier nicht wär.

Intercity Linie Nummer 4
. . .

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
