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 (Europa) Too bad I don't get News At Ten Cause the CNN would tell a different story [pre-Chorus] Eastern Bloc, Eastern Bloc You're never gonna break that deadbolt How can I shake that gridlock shellshock? [Chorus] 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 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 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? [Eddie Van Halen guitar solo] 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?
