SIMPLE MINDS - "I TRAVEL"

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.

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.

Europe has a language problem.

Europe has a language problem.
America has a language problem.
I Travel.
Euro-Bureau-Interpol,
Making love to the criminals.
Asia has a language problem.
I Travel.
And on and on and on and on and on and on and on.
