The Stranglers - Spain lyrics

Found a place in the southern reaches A day or two in a saddle ride If you're looking for leather breeches They've got some damn good hides If you're looking for the wild country And you can live without John Wayne There's a place that is down in history Under the name of Spain Under the name of Spain If you want to leave the clouds behind you Take a walk into sunshine Plenty of it in the southern reaches Where they're making future wine Looks a little like California Prickly pears and rolling plains It's a place I could fly my flag today Under the name of Spain Under the name of Spain -- yo deseo que todos los niños Españoles... Y por eso envio un beso a todos los niños del mundo We knew that it was love at first sight Watch them move into the future Got a lot of catching up to do Hope they take a lesson from their neighbours That'll show 'em what not to do Should've happened for them in the 30's But the pleasure got caught in pain Ended up like the bull in the china shop Under the name of Spain Under the name of Spain -- yo deseo que todos los niños Españoles... Y por eso envio un beso a todos los niños del mundo We knew that it was love at first sight We knew that it was love at first sight Spain! Spain! Spain! Spain! Spain! Spain! Spain! Spain! Spain! Spain! Spain! Spain! -- yo deseo que todos los niños Españoles... Y por eso envio un beso a todos los niños del mundo We knew that it was love at first sight Watch them move into the future Got a lot of catching up to do Hope they take a lesson from their neighbours That'll show 'em what not to do Should've happened for them in the 30's But the pleasure got caught in pain Ended up like the bull in the china shop Under the name of Spain Under the name of Spain
