Lyrics

Cities, buildings falling down
Ideal homes falling down
These pictures I see on the wall
Timeless leaders stand so tall
Assassin in a hit and run
Asia steals a new born son
Evacuees and refugees
Presidents and monarchies
Travel round
I travel round
Decadence and pleasure towns
Tragedies, luxuries, statues, parks and galleries
Travel round
I travel round
Decadence and pleasure towns
Europe has a language problem
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking on
In central Europe
Men are marching
Marching on and marching on
Love songs playing in the restaurants
Airport playing Brian Eno
Travel round
I travel round
Decadence and pleasure towns
Tragedies, luxuries, statues, parks and galleries
Travel round
I travel round
Decadence and pleasure towns
Europe has a language problem
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking on
In central Europe
Men are marching
Marching on and marching on
Europe has a language problem
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking on
In central Europe
Men are marching
Marching on and marching on
Travel round
I travel round
Decadence and pleasure towns
Tragedies, luxuries, statues, parks and galleries
Travel round
I travel round
Decadence and pleasure towns
