Europa and the Pirate Twins
Dolby, Thomas

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 walk 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 window sill
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)
