Come on, come on, come on, come on

Come on, come on, come on

We will go our own way.

We go our own way.

One day we will leave.

One day we will leave.

Your hand is in my hand.

We are holding hands.

We will make a plan.

We should plan our future.

We will fly so high.

We're flying away.

Tell all our friends goodbye (together)

Say goodbye to all our friends.

We will start a new life.

We will start a new life.

(Together) This is what we will do.

This is what we will do.

Extended data

"Go West" is a single by a disco band composed of villagers in the 1970s. This song was covered by pet shop boys on 1993 and was a great success. The connotation of this song has changed with the times, from advocating the gay movement in the 1970s to calling on young people from the East to come to western capitalist countries in the 1990s, and now it has become the passionate World Cup song of the richest man.

Creation background

Go West was released by 1979, but this song was not as popular as other works of Y.M.C.A and In the Navy at first.

The title of the song comes from horace greeley's quotation "Go West, Young Man", which is a slogan of American western colonial rule. At the same time, Go West is also understood as an ideal place for the gay liberation movement in the 1970s.

From 65438 to 0978, Henry Smith's Christian song "Grateful with a Grateful Heart" was strikingly similar to the tune of this song.

The 7-inch record and 12-inch record versions of the songs were collected by villagers' orchestras, including 1993 pet shop boys version and 1997 radio remix version.
