[Verse 1] Poll comes back from north of here, maple leaf and blue stars twine, Majority of Canadians want a closer formal line. Meanwhile out in Alberta, folks are talking secession, A Brexit scholar sits and listens, takes a mental lesson, He flew from London's fog to prairie wind and wheat, Comparing referendum dreams to the ones that left him beat, Says the exit door looks simple till you're standing at the hinge, Watch the way the promises start losing their fringe. [Verse 2] Now zoom into Brussels where the watchdog's drawing lines, Smart glasses on your face, recording all the time, The ruling says you can't just film and hide it in your frame, A little light, a little sign — transparency's the name, Because the lens don't ask permission, but the law insists it should, Every secret camera trick gets traded for the good. [Chorus] Europe's turning pages, autumn ink still wet, Borders redrawn soft, alliances in debt, From Ottawa to Sofia the wires hum tonight, Fourteenth of October, catch the headlines right. [Verse 3] Bulgaria's calling out across the Black Sea foam, Begging NATO, Turkey, Romania — don't leave the water home, Mines are drifting, tensions pacing on the salty floor, Security's a shared roof, nobody holds just one door. And Ukraine's accession paperwork keeps gathering some dust, Doubts are growing thicker than the promises of trust, The terms get softer, then they harden, nobody's sure the shape, A membership that's half-drawn like an unfinished landscape. [Verse 4] A tech firm born in Brexit's chaos, shipping forms and tape, Looks across the ocean now, Canada's the escape, They learned to dodge the paperwork storm that London couldn't tame, Now they're selling that same compass to a brand new game. And LIFE 2026 is counting applications, stacks so tall, Climate projects knocking loud, record numbers at the call, Infrastructure, environment, every green idea in line, Brussels sorting through the hope like sunlight through a vine. [Bridge] Equipment sector's shifting too, Europe's grabbing Canadian ground, Tractors, tools and trade routes weaving tighter, wrapping round, Every headline's just a thread, pull one and watch it sway, The whole cloth of the continent gets woven day by day. [Chorus] Europe's turning pages, autumn ink still wet, Borders redrawn soft, alliances in debt, From Ottawa to Sofia the wires hum tonight, Fourteenth of October, catch the headlines right. [Outro] That's the wire for Europe, folded calm and clear, Same ground keeps shifting — we'll catch it next time here.
