U2 - U9 Zoologischer Garten

Cela faisait un bail aussi que je voulais vous parler de Zoostation: Méga vielle station puisqu'elle a été ouverte en 1902. Mais seulement pour U2...

En descendant les marches, sur le quai du U9, on peut admirer tous les zanimeaux du zoo.


Même que U2 (oui U2) en a écrit une chanson:

I'm ready
I'm ready for the laughing gas
I'm ready
I'm ready for what's next
I'm ready to duck
I'm ready to dive
I'm ready to say
I'm glad to be alive
I'm ready
I'm ready for the push

In the cool of the night
In the warmth of the breeze
I'll be crawling around
On my hands and knees

She's Just down the line...Zoo Station
Got to make it on time...Zoo Station

I'm ready
I'm ready for the gridlock
I'm ready
To take it to the street
I'm ready for the shuffle
Ready for the deal
Ready to let go of the steering wheel
I'm ready
Ready for the crush

She's just down the line... Zoo Station
Got to make it on time... Zoo Station

Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright... It's alright

Hey baby... hey baby... hey baby... hey baby...
It's alright, it's alright

(Alright, you can turn it up)

Time is a train
Makes the future the past
Leaves you standing in the station
Your face pressed up against the glass

I'm just down the line from your love... Zoo Station
You know I'm under the sign... Zoo Station
I've got to make it on time
Make it on time... Zoo Station
I'm gonna be there... Zoo Station
Tracing the line... Zoo Station
That's alright... Zoo Station
Just two stops down the line... Zoo Station
Just a stop down the line...

La chanson décrit parfaitement l'effervescence des stations de UBahn aux heures de pointe... Oui le UBahn inspire. Surtout que U2 a enregistré une grande partie de leur album Achtung Baby a Berlin en 90 (!) d'où la trabant sur la couverture
