lyrics

Number 2 Clarement, not far from the station
Is a place you don’t notice at all
But when the wind blows there’s a breath from the Bosphorus
A taste of old Istanbul
Wherever I wander, wherever I raom
Wherever I might have been
There is good food and company, good wine and music
At Leo’s party machine

From Italy, Serbia, Austria, France
Morocco, and Ukraine
From Frieberg to Freetown, from old to new Amsterdam
From Rio and Rochdale they came
A United Nations, bound by the charter
That friendship is all that we need
And that nobody’s glass should be ever half empty
At Leo’s party machine

Now I’m growing older, my hair has turned grey
And I’m sometimes in bed by half ten
And I’ve seen such deception, corruption and greed
And I wonder where it’s going to end
Leo moved back to his home by the Bosphorus
But tonight we gather again
For friendships like these can never grow old
At Leo’s party machine
