Living In Europe
Thompson Twins · In The Name Of Love [1982]
Every movement of the land
I'm afraid the ??? is someone like a
Isn't it a slight of hand
(Chorus)
It's cause we're living in Europe
It's cause we're living in Europe
It's cause we're living in Europe
It's cause we're living in Europe
Ya Ya, Ya Ya, Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya
Ya Ya, Ya Ya, Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya
I'm hearing everything
Every movement in the sky
All the world is watching us
And kissing us goodbye
(Repeat Chorus x3)

The track remains a testament to their ability to craft infectious melodies that resonated with audiences seeking fresh, energetic pop music during the early eighties.
