Foo Fighters - Sister Europe Lyrics






Stupid on the Steinway
So sick upon a Steinway
The sailors drown

See them talk and see them drown
And see them drink and fall around
Upon the floor

Sister of mine, home again
Sister of mine, home again

Lonely in a crowded room
The radio plays out of tune
So silently

The radio upon the floor
Is stupid it plays Aznavour
So out of key

Sister of mine, home again
Sister of mine, home again

Broken on a ship of fools
Even dreams must fall to rules
So stupidly

Words are all just useless sound
Just like cards they fall around
And we will be

Sister of mine, home again
Sister of mine, home again

Buy a car and watch it rust
Sister see them fall to dust
They fall around

In another crowded room
Paint me like the shirt I'm in
Honestly

Sister of mine, home again
Sister of mine, home again

Sister of mine
Sister of mine
Sister of mine
Sister of mine
Sister.

Foo Fighters Sister Europe Comments
  1. E.... G....

    I'm a HUGE Furs/Richard Butler fan and this is a good cover! And how cool is it that a very popular band of today would cover a Furs song that wasn't super well known? We don't need covers of Love My Way/Pretty in Pink. Honestly, I think Dave Grohl/Foo Fighters do a great job (and a great tribute) to what I consider THE BEST band and greatest artist. Love the piano parts, especially, "Honestly."

  2. E.... H....

    For real YouTube 3 fucken commercials between 2 songs. I think everybody should stop listening to your piece of shit fucking station. I am about ready to

  3. W.... ....

    At 0:23 it kinda sounded like big long now

  4. J.... L....

    Had no idea this existed. Very cool. They did a good run at it!

  5. K.... K....

    Seriously folks you expect a cover song to sound like the original that's not what a cover song is it's a tribute it's an honor it's not supposed to sound like the original artist you have to take it for what it's worth

  6. J.... W....

    Give the Furs what is the Furs
    And the Foos what is the Foos.

  7. J.... D....

    Leave alone what can't be bettered. Piss poor at best.

  8. m.... p....

    so NOW TWO ADS,YOU GREEDY FUCKERS

  9. S.... S....

    A good try honestly but I miss the sax in this Version.

  10. a.... ....

    Dave grohl deberia usar estw tipo de registro en sus canciones y no solo hacer los gritos a los cuáles nos tiene acostumbrados

  11. D.... E....

    Paying homage to a Hero. Cool Dave Grohl. Also covered Killing Joke Requiem. Wonder what Richard Butler thinks ?

  12. S.... h....

    Ha...darling nikki..

  13. S.... h....

    Ha...all you haterz go listen to little nickie... Nicky... Nickey.. Lol... They definitely fight foo on that traxk!!!😁

  14. S.... h....

    Foo Fighters snailed it🔨

  15. K.... u....

    Stupid on the Steinway
    So sick upon a steinway
    The sailors drown
    See them talk and see them drown
    And see them drink and fall around
    Upon the floor

    Sister of mine, home again
    Sister of mine, home again

    Lonely in a crowded room
    The radio plays out of tune
    So silently
    The radio upon the floor
    Is stupid it plays Aznavour
    So out of key

    Sister of mine home again
    Sister of mine home again

    Broken on a ship of fools
    Even dreams must fall to rules
    So stupidly
    Words are all just useless sound
    Just like cards they fall around
    And we will be

    Sister of mine home again
    Sister of mine home again

    Buy a car and watch it rust
    Sister see them fall to dust
    They fall around
    In another crowded room
    Paint me like the shirt I'm in
    Honestly

    Sister of mine, home again
    Sister of mine, home again

    Sister of mine
    Sister of mine
    Sister of mine
    Sister of mine
    Sister

  16. D.... ....

    Who the fuck would cover this *and LEAVE OUT SAXOPHONES?*

  17. A.... ....

    Muito boa! Mas me parece muito uma música do Nirvana (seems like a specific Nirvana's song)

    A.... ....

    Big Long Now?

  18. P.... C....

    Just listened to the original and have to reiterate that this is just as good if not better...

  19. d.... s....

    great tribute to one of the best psychedelic furs tracks

  20. A.... k....

    dont waste ur time nada nada

  21. c.... 2....

    Dont give Dave a hard time...at least he has recognized and paid tribute to an awesome band that rarely get their deserved dues

  22. U.... D....

    The only thing worse than this is dave’s cover of tiny dancer. A man had GOT to know his limitations.

  23. N.... ....

    So this is where I first heard this song

  24. M.... P....

    I LOVE THE FURS,BUT THIS IS MAGNIFICENT,A METAPHYSICAL SONG,REACHING EVEN MORE ENLIGHTENED SOULS

  25. T.... F....

    a damn good version that stays the foos ... not a clone copy

  26. R.... K....

    All the comments about Dave not being able to replicate Richards vocals on this song are inconsiderate. Dave isn't trying to sound like him. That's why it is a cover song. It's their own interpretation of the work. It is his own take on the song.

    R.... K....

    well said and 100% on point

  27. S.... S....

    Stupid on the Steinway

  28. F.... A....

    I can't imagine anyone else but Richard Butler singing this..I like the Foo Fighters but, no...

    F.... A....

    Foxiepaws ACAnderson David did rock it better than Richard Butler. No offense

  29. P.... C....

    I loved the Original and I love this too!

  30. M.... M....

    The Furs Fighters

  31. C.... ....

    I hate how I can't find either version on songsterr

  32. B.... ....

    Where can I down load this its not on iTunes

    B.... ....

    there's a b-sides album you can download from The Pirate Bay, i don't like doing that but when it's the only way you can obtain an unavailable album, why not?

    B.... ....

    Yeah, joydivisionboy1 is right, your only real shot at it is PirateBay or wherever, as this was just a bonus track on a Japan only version of One by One. You can probably get it on Amazon or something if you're a completist (hello) but it will probably cost you a bit and I probably won't be new (retail/unopened).

  33. N.... ....

    I like it but I agree Dave Grohl is no Richard Butler. This version has no menace at all but, having said that, it's nice to actually UNDERSTAND the words. Kurt Cobain would have growled some grit and dirt into this. Oh, well. This reminds me of a lounge version. Haha...yeah, this tinkling piano shit is ruining it...

    N.... ....

    Big long now nirvana.....

  34. J.... M....

    I think people overestimate the effort put into these covers..they were never intended to be anything more than B-sides. They probably ran thru the song for a couple takes ..got a decent mix and called it a day.

    J.... M....

    Josh Martins then why didn't they use 'iffy' songs of their own? I would prefer tjat than hearing them murder something beautiful. ..?

    J.... M....

    Foxiepaws ACAnderson *_EXACTLY..._*

  35. D.... L....

    Love the Furs, love the Foos.  FFighters respected it too much.  They should have gone all out.  Still like it.  Better mixing.

  36. H.... F....

    No one could ever touch Richard's voice. Except maybe Kurt Cobain could have gotten it close enough. Grohl's voice is sugar-sweet but the passion and the grit and preternatural sensual ache is so lost. I think Grohl's version sounds like Sister Europe redone as freakin' elevator music. Ugh! No one else should even try to take on this song. And the little goofy-sounding last stab at singing the word "Sister" with any authenticity at all was like OUCH, dude, please stop that! I have to tell The Furs on Facebook how exceedingly bad the Foos botched their song!

    H.... F....

    Hillary Frasier Hays I know, the original is ethereal, and sexy as hell

    H.... F....

    Hillary Frasier Hays absolutely!

    H.... F....

    Hillary Frasier Hays absolutely. ..well put x

    H.... F....

    what I love is that my favourite band in my teens obviously been influenced by one of my favourite bands later on. Nobody can match Richard Butler (David Bowie) tone, but still a good version!

  37. C.... C....

    Prefiero la versión original, esta pierde esa aura "mística" que caracteriza la canción junto a la voz de Richard Butler.

    C.... C....

    Es un cover decente, a mi me gusta

  38. p.... y....

    q boniiitoo

  39. b.... ....

    With all due respect to Foo Fighters fans, the Furs version - like most of their songs - should never be covered due to Richard Butler's incomparable voice. As such this is a sugar coated and punchless abomination compared to the original.

    b.... ....

    billd207 yes agreed. ..think this is the final word. ...the cover was limp! No disrespect to Foo Fighters but just don't attempt songs that were originally written and sung by such charismatic voices.

    b.... ....

    I think it is good for a band to get out of their comfort zone, and this truly doesn't sound good. But lacks the, say, debauchery and decadence of the original.

    b.... ....

    Yall so butthurt lmao

  40. M.... R....

    you can't be serious. with your username.

  41. D.... M....

    It's Dave Grohl.

  42. d.... ....

    Who's sing in this song please ?

    d.... ....

    davegrohl2b I'm pretty sure Dave groul the song originally was written by the psychedelic furs

  43. M.... C....

    I prefer Psychelelic Furs definitely!

  44. s.... ....

    I like it. Thx. :)

  45. 9.... ....

    The Psychedelic Foos

  46. J.... W....

    love the song gog=od cover

  47. C.... Z....

    sister of mine ...
    bakers street ...

    nice cover band!



    where's Van H. at ?

    c&p12

  48. E.... L....

    TLSLikeslikesyourhair... :-(, I can hardly believe that meant what you said while writing:"I never really liked the original", I mean yeah, FooFighters play this song quite well I'd say, BUT... where in the frucking hell the singer will ever b able to even get "close to" Richard Butler's voice???

  49. V.... G....

    Ya know im not the biggest fan of Foo Fighters, and I absolutely love the original version of this song, but I dont think 'the whole feel is lost'. It certinly is different but I think its fairly kool. Not a bad cover at all.

  50. E.... C....

    Not so good,,,,,,,,,,the whole feel is lost..

  51. b.... ....

    sorry but original cant be beaten but love the foos

  52. f.... l....

    YOU Commenters are a bunch of pussies...great band covering a great band!!

  53. T.... S....

    I never really liked the original song, so it was natural for me to be apprehensive about this one, but true to form, they ROCKED it! :) One of the few times where, in my opinion, the cover is better than the original.
    ...haha, no offense, of course.

    T.... S....

    Taylor Slager I feel the same, I prefer Foo fighters cover

  54. D.... ....

    @4everClassicrock NO FUCKING WAY. Im seeing them next month im so stoked. God damn i hope your not lying!
    lol

  55. 4.... ....

    @DanielAmayaFinn 3 1/2 hours!

  56. D.... ....

    @4everClassicrock No way! How long was it?

  57. 4.... ....

    @DanielAmayaFinn The Beatles are so awesome, i love them so much, and Foo Fighters! i just saw them yesterday, AMAZING!!!!! show!

  58. D.... ....

    @4everClassicrock You usually gotta be on substance to come out with something as trippy as some of Lennons stuff. I love the guy though. My favorite beatle

  59. 4.... ....

    @DanielAmayaFinn John Lennon did acid alot ): that makes me sad. I like trippy music but i don't like how it comes about...

  60. M.... H....

    And hey Gamez, I'm assuming there aren't so many views because lots of people are unaware of just how awesomely weird it is to hear Foo Fighters do a PF cover.

  61. M.... H....

    hahaha, from what I understand that was know to happen. from time to time. The original (Psychedelic Furs) version is pretty trippy, and I'm pretty impressed the Foo's managed to rock it out *and* keep it trippy. They rock.

  62. D.... ....

    this sounds weird. like john lennon on shrooms and acid

  63. �.... ....

    Why does this not have more views? :x
