Europa and the Pirate Twins

Okay

I was fourteen

She was twelve

Father traveled, hers 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 a 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 (Oh my country now)

I'll stand beside you in the rain, Europa

Ta république, Europa

Down in some bar along the Seine, Europa

Oh my country, Europa

I'll walk beside you in the rain, Europa

Ta république, Europa
