Whats the significance of Lake Geneva and the Finland Station in West End Girls?
Lake Geneva is where Lenin spent his time during his exile from Russia. Finland Station is the location of Lenin’s entry into Russia after the fall of the Czars. There is also a book on the history of socialism called “To The Finland Station.” It is interesting to note that Neil Tennant studied Socialism, and some of his songs, including WEG, My October Symphony, and This Must be the Place I Waited Years to Leave have socialist overtones.
