Europa And The Pirate Twins

I was fourteen
She was twelve
Father travelled
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
I'll stand beside you in the rain
Europa
Ta republique

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
I'll stand beside you in the rain
Europa
Ta republique

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
Then here eyes were gone forever
As they drove her away

We'll be the Pirate Twins again
Europa
Oh my country
I'll stand beside you in the rain
Europa
Ta republique
