lyrics

It’s freezing on the roof, ten flights of stairs and now it’s hard to move
They say that the city is beautiful, and that this car park is the concrete proof

You’re hungry for a spark, so I have brought you where it’s cold and dark
A thin blue line is all there is to see, in our romantic hitchhike fantasy

(Chorus)

We broke out, pushed the boat out, sailed out on paper planes
We broke out, pushed the boat out, and slept on cargo trains

We’re guilty of no crime, we managed Brussels but in half the time
There’s teams in Poland and there’s teams in Spain,
While we stayed here to find our spark again

(Chorus)

I say we sacrifice our holiday for this paradise
I say we stay and take a foray off the road
