travellin tania Lyrics

I suppose

That it all began

When Chic caught Jerry's eye in isfahan

She was born

On this place and date

Epsom, Surrey, 1958

So begins the tale of

Travellin Tania

Wandered off

Down to Margate beach

Chic could never find her, she was out of reach

With her bucket

And her spade

Watching punch and Judy shows she was not afraid!

By only Three years old she was

Travellin Tania

Dublin, Ireland

Went to boarding school

She had fun despite the nuns, followed her own rules

In the middle

Of the night

Out the window into town she was out of sight

Doing her own thing

Travellin tania

Followed the oil

Over to Iran

Starlit nights on the rooftops of Tehran

Sunny days

By the Caspian sea

Danger sign in 79, she had to flee

Always on the move

Travelling Tania

1980

In the USA

Houston, Texas, swam in Galveston bay

Come 82

She had skipped

Working for the zebalene in Cairo, Egypt

Always one way tickets

Travellin Tania

Norwich, England

In 83

Blue sky, too dry, too far from the sea

She got bored

So by 84

She hit the road down south to spanish shores

Always in the swim

Travelling Tania

7 years

In las negras

Living like a gypsy was a gas

In the nightclubs

She would hang

With her sisters like the wild west's Dalton gang

La chica del mar

Travellin tania

Then in 93

She came to rest

Became a mother with two kids and she felt blessed

Now the kids have grown

Now and then

Maybe Tania's travels can start again

Still a road ahead for

Travelling Tania
