Europe

Songwriter: Joey Tempest Mic Michaeli

It comes from out of nowhere
I hear that simple sound
It gets my body moving
So bad I can't come down

Well, the whole thing's far from perfect
How I choose to spend my precious time
Far from that ragged edge
With a drink and a smile

Feels like I'm on to a winner
Tonight I can do no wrong
God knows she's no beginner
The best I have ever known

Well, the whole thing's far from perfect
How we choose to spend our precious time
Far from that ragged edge
With a drink and a smile

My heart keeps beating faster
Until the lights go out
The last thing I hear is laughter
I do remember what it's like

Europe is a Swedish rock band formed in Upplands Väsby, Sweden in 1979, by frontman Joey Tempest, guitarist John Norum, bassist Peter Olsson, and drummer Tony Reno. They obtained a major breakthrough in Sweden in 1982 by winning the televised competition “Rock-SM” (Swedish Rock Championships): it was the first time this competition was held, and Europe became a larger success than the competition itself.
