Europa and the Pirate Twins

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, 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 Here 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 Down in some bar along the Seine, Europa Oh my country, Europa I'll walk beside you in the rain, Europa Ta république, Europa
