European Legacy — текст песни (Jethro Tull)

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 ---

Its really up to her.

Ill write every cheque she brings to me.

I shoot on sight ---

Its my 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 channels wide ---

But its their european legacy.



I strain my eyes

Against the southern light advancing.

On whiter cliffs Im 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.



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 ---

Its really up to her.

Ill write every cheque she brings to me.

She shoots on sight ---

Its her european legacy.
