Isn't it "My opium love", not "European"?

I always thought it was myopian as in short sighted

That would be the "Power" lyrics:

It is "My European Love", as confirmed by the lyrics of Laura on the "Burning the Fields" and "From Gehenna to Here" CDs.


Despite possible inaccuracies, ALL lyrics should be treated as the (C) Copyright of Carl McCoy / Carl D McCoy / Carl Douglas McCoy, etc...

LAURA

Tempted white eyes
Blinded by the night
Hollow like the towers
On the inside
Laura's a machine, she's burning insane
Laura's a machine

For a menace in disguise behold this night
Four walls are furnished now she's alive

No one ever helped poor Laura
No one ever helped poor Laura
She's rabid in ecstasy
She's rabid in ecstasy
She's rabid in ecstasy
She's rabid in ecstasy

She's on the line to cut it all
She's on the line to drop and fall
She's on the line to cut or fall
She's on the line
Line to fall

People laughing, an awful sight
Please leave Laura
'Tis her night
Laura can you see
Laura can you say
Laura can you see
From the light of the Catherine wheel
She spins from above
Haunted by these times
My European love

No one ever helped poor Laura
No one ever helped poor Laura
She's rabid in ecstasy
She's rabid in ecstasy
She's rabid in ecstasy
She's rabid in ecstasy

She's on the line to cut it all
She's on the line to drop and fall
She's on the line to cut or fall
She's on the line
Line to fall

(Lyrics obtained via the "Burning the Fields" CD and the "From Gehenna to Here" CD.)


POWER

Power

Power feeds you long loving hours
I can give everlasting power
Flower
The world opens you, the simple flower
A feeling, a feeling all so sour

Draining me, now draining me from power
Draining me, now draining me from power

Power
The wide-open stench you're all so sour
I can't give but I receive for hours

Draining me now
Draining me from power
Draining me now
Draining me from power
Draining static from the attic,
Attic walls

Draining me now
Draining me from power
Draining me now
Draining me from power
Draining static from the attic,
Attic walls

A power
So somatic
Till your heart is burning
I call it static
I'm ecstatic
So charismatic
You're so tragic
My love's so manic
I have the power
Leaves you frantic
My mind is churning
I'm a sex fanatic
See my touch
Makes you cower
Drain me of
My bleeding hour
Attic walls!
Yours, aye!

Well, can't argue with that, then. Doesn't sound like it, however, nor does it make much sense.

Being of the same nationality as Carl, I can confirm that it does sound like Carl is singing My European Love. And as I say, the lyrics were reproduced on the covers of the Burning the Fields and From Gehenna to Here CDs.
Yours, aye!

I still think its myopian, and it makes more sense. But then Carl and bonkers lyrics are normal so you never know.

this is a good point to consider when trying to decipher anyones lyrics and words, to take into account a persons accent, way of speaking, and also regional dialect and slang. It can be especialy hard when the language is not in one's native tounge.
