Born In The EU

[Verse 1]

Meet me at the Bureau de change

I’m not ready to die

At least not in a country this ugly

Men like us need a grand finale

I saw a picture online of a beautiful market square

It reminds me of a lyric I didn’t write

You were always the ideas man

[Chorus]

I wish I’d done everything on earth with you

There’s a city in Europe where no one will remember our names

Where all the motorways cascade

Pavements flow like waves

There’s a city in Europe which nobody calls home

Tonight we’re driving on the right into the great unknown

[Verse 2]

As we sit and discuss

The lack of romance in the smoke and mirrors of an electronic cigarette

I realise our dreams are almost as old as us

[Chorus]

I wish I’d done everything on earth with, everything on earth with you, with you too

There’s a city in Europe where no one will remember our names

Where all the motorways cascade

Pavements flow like waves

There’s a city in Europe which nobody calls home

Tonight we’re driving on the right into the great unknown

[Bridge]

Marseille, Dresden, Vienna, Birmingham, Sofia, Monaco, Amsterdam, Oslo, Athens, Barcelona, Glasgow, Verona, Budapest, Gothenburg, Sheffield, Hamburg

[Verse 3]

We don’t need context to set the scene

We were born here, we will die here

Let’s try living in between

[Chorus x2]

There’s a city in Europe where no one will remember our names

Where all the motorways cascade

Pavements flow like waves

There’s a city in Europe which nobody calls home

Tonight we’re driving on the right into the great unknown
