Europa geht durch mich

So, brilliant new track from futurology.
Sounds like Muse meets Simple Minds.

Anyone an attempt at the lyrics?

This could be a massive hit, especially as the Europe is a hot topic at the moment. Hopefully Walk me to the bridge isn't their 'Anthem For A Lost Cause' or 'Indian Summer' of the album.

I love this song, been humming it all morning. If you watch my video can you see the English lyrics on the big screen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iYefcbHTVU
Knowing the Manics they'll probably not release it as a single or if they do it'll have a boring Patrick Jones video.

That video is very useful for lyrics!! Thanks.

So this is what I think I have so far, corrections welcome (especially the first German bit!):

*DE* = German lyrics in English based on everlasting's video from gig.
* ?* = unsure of lyrics

Europa Geht Durch Mich

Europe had a language problem
German roads, they gave me vision
I've seen the future, it's not written
This motion makes a modern love song

European skies, European desires
European roads, European hopes
European sons, European love
European dreams, European screams

European skies, European desires
European roads, European hopes
European sons, European love
European dreams, European screams

Europa geht durch mich
Europa geht durch mich

Geister wie verlegter Schlaf *DE* Ghosts appear like ruined sleep *DE*
Zeit, die zurückgelassen habe *DE* Destroyed by time I left behind *DE*
Renne weiter um zu fliehen *DE* Keep on moving to escape *DE*
Renne weiter weg von dem Leben *DE* Keep on running away from life *DE*

European skies, European desires
European roads, European hopes
European sons, European love
European dreams, European screams

European skies, European desires
European roads, European hopes
European sons, European love
European dreams, European screams

Europa geht durch mich
Europa geht durch mich

Europa geht durch mich
Europa geht durch mich

God builders, divine losers
Let's salute eternalism
More words and less meaning
Communication disappearing

Europäische Himmel, European Wünsche *DE* European skies, European desires *DE*
Europäischen Straßen, Europäische Hoffnungen *DE* European roads, European hopes *DE*
Europäische Söhne, European Liebe *DE* European sons, European love *DE*
Europäische Träume, Europäische Schreie *DE* European dreams, European screams *DE*

European skies, European desires
European roads, European hopes
European sons, European love
European dreams, European screams

Europa geht durch mich
Europa geht durch mich

Europa geht durch mich
Europa geht durch mich

It totally reminded me of Train by Goldfrapp. Love it! Really hope other tracks from Futurology are in a similar vein.

Couldn't make out 100% of the first German verse but here's my suggestion:

Geister wie vernebelter Schlaf
Zeit die ich zurückgelassen (?) habe
Renne weiter um zu fliehen
Renne weiter weg vom Leben.

Hope that helps!

This is the best thing they've ever done! Not sure if this thread was discussion , appreciation or lyrics thread. It can be all of them!
It's a better song than Empty Souls being performed at the Isle Of Wight.
Up there with 1985. The more I keep listening to it, the more I think Futurology is going to be amazing.
So do you think Nina will fly over for when they do this on Later... With Jools Holland?

I've listened to it around 10 times and I have to say it's probably their best song since anything from JFPL.
Aside from maybe Red Rubber, as that is also insanely good
The visuals remind me of The Clash or something from Know Your Enemy - got a really good feeling about the album!

This definitely reminded me of Celebrate, from Empires & Dance. Though the first line is lifted from I Travel...

Still singing the chorus in my head, several hours after first hearing the song. That's a good sign.

Quite catchy, but exceptionally repetitive. I'll wait until I've heard the studio version. I hope it's nice and gritty. I can imagine Albini could have done a good job on it.

I very much like this, but suspect it may be too overtly political for chart success. Never mind chart success, though; I very much like this.
