eastern bloc lyrics

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.
Last night I swear I saw her face
As they stormed the gates
On satellite TV.
Too bad we don’t get News at Ten,
‘Cause the CNN will tell a different story.

Eastern bloc, eastern bloc,
You’re never gonna break that deadbolt.
How can I shake that gridlock, shellshock.
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 travelled, 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 I kissed her was for real,
But tonight I feel that the wind has changed.

Eastern bloc, eastern bloc,
You’re never gonna break that deadbolt.
How can I shake that gridlock, shellshock.
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?

Eastern bloc, eastern bloc,
You’re never gonna break that deadbolt.
How can I shake that gridlock, shellshock.
Tune it out, tune it in, Europa, Europa.
Shine across these waves and rescue me.
Down the years through thick and thin, Europa, Europa,
Come in, come in, come in, come in, do you read?
Are you receiving me?

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?
