What is "langebro"

"Langebro" is the first track on Danish rock band Gasolin's 1971 first album, Gasolin'. The lyrics were written by Mogens Mogensen and the melody is borrowed from the English folk song " Geordie" with very slight alterations. "Langebro", named for a bridge of the same name in Copenhagen, is one of Gasolin's most popular songs.in The lyrics give an insight to the darker side of society in Copenhagen. Gasolin' was concerned about the poor and helpless and this was often reflected in their lyrics.

Langebro is a bascule bridge across the Inner Harbour of Copenhagen, Denmark, connecting Zealand-side H. C. Andersens Boulevard to Amager-side Amager Boulevard. It is one of only two bridges to carry motor vehicles across the harbour in central Copenhagen, the other being Knippelsbro.
