eastern bloc

here in england

it's so green

martian men can move unseen

apparatus underground

monitor the crunching sound

joey's gone and georgie's gone

put their best torn trousers on

found a crowbar and a drill

headed for the berlin wall

and last night i swear i saw her face

as they stormed the gates of satellite tv

too bad i don't get news at ten

'cause the cnn would tell a different story

eastern bloc

eastern bloc

you're never gonna break that deadlock

how can i shake that gridlock shell shock?

tune it out

tune it in

europa

europa

shine across these waves and rescue me

loud and clear

through thick and thin

europa

europa

come in

come in

come in

come in

do you read?

are you receiving me?

so i was fourteen

she was twelve

father traveled

hers as well

down the beaches

hand in hand

twelfth of never on the sand

and we said we'd be the pirate twins again

in the freezing rain of the eastern bloc

and i used to think each time we kissed it was for real

but tonight i feel that the wind has changed

eastern bloc

eastern bloc

you're never gonna break that deadlock

how can i shake that gridlock shell shock?

tune it out

tune it in

europa
