Ultravox - New Europeans Lyrics






In a quiet street washed by the rain the room within the home
A lonely man sits cheek to cheek with unique designs in chrome
The mellow years have long gone by, but now he sits alone
He has a brand new radio, but never turns it on

[Chorus:]
New Europeans
Young Europeans
New Europeans

A photograph of lovers lost lies pressed in magazines
Her eyes belong to a thousand girls, she's the wife who's never seen
Their educated son has left in search of borrowed dreams
His television's in his bed, he's frozen to the screen

[Chorus]

On a crowded beach washed by the Sun he puts his headphones on
His modern world revolves around the synthesizer's song
Full of future thoughts and thrills, his senses slip away
He's a European legacy, a culture for today

[Chorus]

Young Europeans

    We covered this song together with 'Sleepwalk' when we were 17. Good old days.

  8. R.... E....

    I just love the way they play with the soundstage on this one. Most of the music is done with very little bass and then it suddenly drops down and gives you a tingle in the groin.

  9. F.... C....

    Love it

  10. �.... ....

    Nostalgic

  11. h.... ....

    カッティングギターと曲調が変わってギターソロになり元に戻ってくるところがめっちゃカッコイイ

  12. s.... m....

    これぞEU-ROCKという感じがします。かっっっこぇぇ!!でも当時はかなり異色だったような…

    That part at 1:50 ........brilliant

  16. G.... ....

    テクノポップ、ニュ-・ロマンティックと80’sのム-ブ・メントの中でも抜群のカッコイイ・サウンドでしたね!

    In a quiet street washed by the rain, the room within the home.
    A lonely man sits cheek to cheek, with unique designs in chrome.
    The mellow years have long gone by, but now he sits alone.
    He has a brand new radio, but never turns it on.

    [Chorus]
    New Europeans.
    Young Europeans.
    New Europeans.

    A photograph of lovers lost, lies pressed in magazines.
    Her eyes belong to a thousand girls, she's the wife who's never seen.
    Their educated son has left, in search of borrowed dreams.
    His television's in his bed, he's frozen to the screen.

    [Chorus]

    On a crowded beach washed by the sun, he puts his headphones on.
    His modern world revolves around the synthesizer's song.
    Full of future thoughts and thrills, his senses slip away.
    He's a European legacy, a culture for today.

    [Chorus]

    Young Europeans.

    I was in a Punk band called Cattle. We did a song called Run Run Run; it was about the Maastricht treaty. Now, because of powerful politicians and mainstream media, that perspective is somehow seen as fascist i.e. leaving the EU. Somehow, centralised power is no longer fascist...

  18. b.... b....

    Midge sang that at Shank Hall bar in Milwaukee about 6 months or so back. Still got The Voice!

  19. k.... b....

    いま聴いていても最高!です

  20. D.... ....

    2:29 *____*

    On a crowded beach washed by the sun
    He puts his headphones on
    His modern world revolves around
    The synthesizer's song...

    D.... ....

    As does mine!!!

  21. e.... a....

    guitar is sheer magnificence - can't be better. Grainy, tastier than quinoa seed bread rolls.

  22. 2.... ....

    リフとカッティング、三宅一生 カッコいい時代だった。

  23. S.... ....

    三宅一生が出たサントリー”角瓶”のCMを思い出した・・・・!

  24. �.... ....

    Fantastic !

  25. A.... S....

    pieprzę was programisci i , iluminati i wszystkich przeciwko ludziom fuck won gincie

  26. �.... ....

    小学生の頃FMで聞いていたのを思い出します。今聞けば音が少ないのに驚きですが当時は十分ノリノリでしたね。

  27. R.... 7....

    Ultrivox. New Europeans

  28. c.... n....

    definitely a part in this record that sounds or reflects ( visage) , for sure., still great though!

    c.... n....

    Yea Visage was Ultravox but with Steve Strange.

    c.... n....

    Well midge wrote most of both groups songs !

  29. S.... F....

    If I wrote good songs this is how they would probably sound.

  30. �.... ....

    ウルトラボックス、大好きです。ビエナもいいですよ。今聞いても全然古くないのがすごいですね。

    �.... ....

    +高間恭子 シンガポール在住なので今日は仕事でした。帰ってきてOneOKRock聞いてみました。悪くないですね。溢れる才能って感じで。今でもこの手の音は心地良いのですが、テクノやニューロマンティックやらニューウェーブやらというのを好んで聴いてたのは中学生の頃。もう30年以上前ですよー。OneOKRockの子達は生まれてませんね。。最近刺さったのはVintage Troubleです。直球しか受けられなくなってきてるなあ。

    �.... ....

    +通山忠洋 お仕事お疲れ様です。私も3月は確定申告で税理士と数字のにらめっこでした。経営方針などを考えながら絵の仕事もしているので、音楽で頭を空っぽにしたり、創作意欲をもらっています。ワンオクはTVに出なく全ての曲がボーカルのタケのオリジナルで、海外でのツアーで活動しているそうです。完全感覚をPCで見た時に良い歌手が出てきて私の創作意欲を後押ししてくれたように感じてしまいました。
    貴方もお忙しいご様子。御体に気を付けて素敵な春をお迎えください。(^-^)

    �.... ....

    vienna is really good, but new europeans is the best/ウィーンは本当に良いですが、新しいヨーロッパ人が最高です
