lyrics

Eurovision Company Line
G D Em
I met him on train to nowhere
C D G
I was hopin’ I could waste some time
G D Em
I was runnin’ from Paris to Amsterdam
C D G
On the Eurovision Company Line

He was carrying a little guitar case
I asked him if he knew how to play
He opened the case showed me his guitar
Then he slowly put the guitar away

Bm C
He had a ready smile, a friendly way
D
We snuck ourselves a little smoke
G D Em
We laughed all the way to Belgium
C D G
I listened to his corny jokes

Em C
It was somewhere in the night near Antwerp
D
He began to talk about the guitar
G D Em
He said he could only play it with Sweet Marie
C D G
He said someday he’s gonna make her a star

He started to talk about Sweet Marie
He said I had to hear her sing
He’d met her in a pub in Liverpool
Where he’d been doing his guitar thing

They played from Glasgow to Bournemouth
They started to write some songs
He fell in love with her more or less instantly
They couldn’t do anything wrong

She had long brown hair, pretty blue eyes
When she sang it seemed she cast a spell
She met a concert promoter from Amsterdam
The beginning of my new friend’s hell

They’d been playing in a pub in London
Their contract there was set to renew
In the morning he woke alone in his bed
Soon he had an empty feeling too

We got off the train in Amsterdam
I saw him walk away through the crowd
Right then I was sure I’d never see him again
So young, so tall, and so proud

One day I heard a voice of an angel
Singing on my radio
The DJ just called her Sweet Marie
She was playing with a fellow named Joe

I saw him last week in Seattle
He seemed like he was doing well
He was playing with his band on a very big stage
With a very good story to tell

I met him on train to nowhere
I was hopin’ I could waste some time
I was runnin’ from Paris to Amsterdam
On the Eurovision Company Line
