Lyrics for European Legacy by Tull Jethro:
| | | Artist: | Tull Jethro |
| | Album: | Underwraps | | Track: | European Legacy | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 64 | | | | Lyrics: | She smiles at me
from beyond the eastern sea-shore.
Flashing jewelled eyes,
she
hoists her skirts so high.
Nouvelle cuisine or an oyster bar --
it's really up to
her.
I'll write every cheque she brings to me.
She shoots on sight --
it's her
European Legacy.
Round the castle walls --
about the Highlands and the
Islands
the faint reminders stand.
Visitors who took a hand
a thousand years ago,
or so --
stranded high and dry by tides --
washed up a new identity.
The channel's
wide --
but it's their European legacy.
I strain my eyes
against the southern
light advancing.
On whiter cliffs I'm high.
The sea birds roll and tumble as they
fly.
I hear distant mainland music echo
in my island ears.
My feet begin to move
instinctively
to the warmer beat of my European
Legacy | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
