lyrics

pay the drinks, this one's on me
dark grey skies bringing heavy rain
can't believe what's on the BBC
Starbucks coffee shop in flames

we could leave this place behind
and stay where all the lovers meet
I'll throw away the baggage
keeping what we'll really need

meet me at six, I'm at the station, platform 21
I close my eyes, memories of how we used to dance
hold still
for what you think you cannot understand
in this European decadence

save the euro and save the whales
"eat the rich" and his private jets
questions that were never made
but the answers are a public affair

Glasnost books from a Kiev bar
the modern days have got us far
addictive taste, can't see through haze
we're running, hiding, we've been chased

meet me at six, I'm at the station, platform 21
I close my eyes, memories of how we used to dance
hold still
for what you think you cannot understand
in this European decadence

from Ancient Greece to the Roman Empire
blood and wine spilled over the centuries
our Renaissance, the bird of iron and fire

princess now dressed down in rags
through the rain, through the storm
last call to save your soul
or throw it all away

we can leave this place
leave it all behind
we can close our eyes
and dream it all again

meet me at six, I'm at the station, platform 21
I close my eyes, memories of how we used to dance
hold still
for what you think you cannot understand
in this European decadence
