Goin’ Down Geneva Lyrics by Van Morrison

Back on Top

1999

[Verse 1]
Goin' down Geneva, give me a helping hand
I'm goin' down Geneva, give me a helping hand
It's not easy baby, living on the exile plan

[Verse 2]
Down on the bottom, down to my new pair of shoes
Down on the bottom, down to my new pair of shoes
I'm down by the lakeside, thinking 'bout my baby blue

[Verse 3]
Last night I played a gig in Salzburg outside in the pouring rain
Last night I played a gig in Salzburg outside in the pouring rain
Flew from there to Montreux and my heart was filled with pain
(Alright)

[Verse 4]
Look out my window back at the way things are
Look out my window pane back at the way things are
Just wonder how, how did things ever get this far?

[Verse 5]
Vince Taylor used to live here, nobody's ever heard of him
Vince Taylor used to live here, nobody's heard of him
Ain't that a shame
Just who he was, just where he fits in
(Alright go)

[Verse 6]
He was goin' down Geneva, give him a helping hand
He was goin' down Geneva, give him a helping hand
It wasn't easy living on the exile plan
(Play it one more time)

[Verse 7]
Vince Taylor used to live here, nobody's even heard of him
Vince, Vince Taylor lives here, nobody's even heard of him
Just who he was, just where he fits in
(One more time, alright)

[Outro]
Just who he was, just where he fits in
