lyrics

Smoked a joint down at the bus stop with that cute German girl with dreads
Took my seat, it’s nearly 2am, a few more braincells dead
Greek girl sitting next to me, we ate Turkish bread
And talked about the European Union- its effects on the Greek economy

She said “ship”, I thought she said “sheep”
She put her head upon my shoulder, yeah we drifted off to sleep

Before you realise it everyone is gone
The building is empty, the lights are still on
Talk into the morning, goodbyes are said
What am I left with?
A broken heart, and a loaf of this half-eaten Turkish bread

She told me about her life in Greece, society built around debate
Is that the German border? Man, I hope this bus will be delayed!
They sit around just dodging work just like we do at home
“And just remember, boy, that Athens is much prettier than Rome”

And before you realise it everyone is gone
The buildings they’re empty, the lights they’re still on
Walk into the morning where goodbyes are said
What am I left with?
Yeah before I realise, the Greek girl she’s gone
The bus is nearly empty, the lights are coming on
She walks into the morning where goodbyes are said
I take another bite of this delicious Turkish bread
