Eastern Bloc Songtext
von Thomas Dolby

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
(Europa)
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 deadbolt
How can I shake that gridlock?
Shell shock


Tuning out, tuning 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 deadbolt
How can I shake that gridlock?
Shell shock


Tuning out, tuning in
Europa, Europa
Shine across these waves and rescue me
Loud and clear, 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?
Shell shock

Tuning out, tuning in
Europa, Europa
Shine across these waves and rescue me
Down again, thick and thin
Europa, Europa
Come in, come in, come in, come in
Do you read?

Tuning out, tuning 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?
