Europa and the Pirate Twins
Ok
I was fourteen, she was twelve
Father travelled, her's as well, Europa...
Down the beaches, hand in hand
Twelfth of never on the sand
Then war took her away
We swore a vow that day
We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa
Oh my country, Europa
I'll stand beside you in the rain, Europa
Ta république... Europa
Nine years after, who'd I see
On the cover of a magazine? Europa...
Buy her singles and see all her films
Paste her pictures on my windowsill
But that's not quite the same. It isn't, is it?
Europa my old friend
We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa
Oh my country, oh my country, Europa
I'll walk beside you in the rain, Europa
Ta république... Europa
Blew in from the hoverport
She was back in London
Pushed past the papermen
Calling her name
She smiled for the cameras
As the bodyguard grabbed me
Her eyes were gone forever
As they drove her away
We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa
Oh my country, Europa
I'll walk beside you in the rain, Europa
Ta république... Europa
We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa
Oh my country, look at my country now!
I'll stand beside you in the rain, Europa
Ta république... Europa
Down in some bar along the Strand, Europa
Oh my country, Europa
I'll walk beside you in the rain, Europa
Ta république... Europa
I was fourteen, she was twelve
Father travelled, her's as well, Europa...
Down the beaches, hand in hand
Twelfth of never on the sand
Then war took her away
We swore a vow that day
We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa
Oh my country, Europa
I'll stand beside you in the rain, Europa
Ta république... Europa
Nine years after, who'd I see
On the cover of a magazine? Europa...
Buy her singles and see all her films
Paste her pictures on my windowsill
But that's not quite the same. It isn't, is it?
Europa my old friend
We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa
Oh my country, oh my country, Europa
I'll walk beside you in the rain, Europa
Ta république... Europa
Blew in from the hoverport
She was back in London
Pushed past the papermen
Calling her name
She smiled for the cameras
As the bodyguard grabbed me
Her eyes were gone forever
As they drove her away
We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa
Oh my country, Europa
I'll walk beside you in the rain, Europa
Ta république... Europa
We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa
Oh my country, look at my country now!
I'll stand beside you in the rain, Europa
Ta république... Europa
Down in some bar along the Strand, Europa
Oh my country, Europa
I'll walk beside you in the rain, Europa
Ta république... Europa
