European Son

About European Son

European Son is a song by the British band Japan. The song was written by David Sylvian in 1978 following the bands US tour. It was intended to be the title track of Japan's third album and Sylvian intended to record it with disco producer Giorgio Moroder. However, this did not happen as Moroder preferred the song Life in Tokyo. Japan then recorded the song with Simon Napier-Bell and it was mixed by John Punter. European Son was first released in Japan as the B-side of the single I Second That Emotion and on a Canadian Special Edition EP. In 1981 it was released as the B-side of the UK single Life in Tokyo and was included on the album Assemblage. Later that year a version remixed by Steve Nye was released as a single and became a hit on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 31. more »

Scurrying across the broadwalk 
Some places I tend to forget 
The air clings deep in my throat 
It's so cold in this luncheonette, well 

Somebody wants to know you 
An ordinary boy 
Somebody wants to know you 
A standard polaroid, well 

Here I am 
European son 
Sometimes the passenger 
European son 
Here I am 

Suffragettes in Washington 
Disposable serviettes 
Searching for the quiet life 
There's no love in this luncheonette, well

Japan

Japan i/dʒəˈpæn/ (Japanese: 日本 Nihon or Nippon; formally 日本国 Nippon-koku or Nihon-koku, literally "[the] State of Japan") is an island nation in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies to the east of the Sea of Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south. The characters that make up Japan's name mean "sun-origin", which is why Japan is sometimes referred to as the "Land of the Rising Sun". more »
