“EURO-COUNTRY” is the fourth single off of CMAT’s album of the same name. The song is a reflection on post-Celtic Tiger Ireland, exploring the national identity crisis that followed the economic boom and subsequent crash. CMAT expresses a feeling of disconnect from her own identity, which mirrors Ir...
[Intro]
Cad is gá dom a dhéanamh mura bhfuil mé ag bualadh leat?
Tá ceann folamh agam, yah, agus pearsantacht nua
Eirím níos dofheicthe, is tú imithe, ó mo shaol
Níl aon rud fágtha sa scátháin
An mbeidh mé álainn mhaol?
Yeah
[Verse 1]
I went away to come back like a prodigal Christian
I lost a little weight, yeah, and gained it back when I missed him
I learned a lot from my being here
How I had to be on my own, yeah
And now I feel just like Cú Chulainn, I feel like Kerry Katona
[Chorus]
My Euro, Euro, Euro Country
(The mam and the dad)
My Euro, Euro, Euro Country
(The present is past)
Everything I thought that I could be
(He cut it in half)
My Euro, Euro, Euro Country
(I do all he asks)
[Verse 2]
I never understood what this way of living could do to me
All the mooching 'round shops, and the lack of identity
So tryna be what he wasn't born, all this pop star USA
I think we're gonna die trying, I wish we weren't this way
[Chorus]
My Euro, Euro, Euro Country
(The mam and the dad)
My Euro, Euro, Euro Country
(The present is past)
Everything I thought that I could be
(He cut it in half)
My Euro, Euro, Euro Country
Oh
[Bridge]
All the big boys, all the Berties
All the envelopes, yeah, they hurt me
I was twelve when the das started killing themselves all around me (All around me)
And it was normal, building houses
That stay empty even now, yeah
And no one says it out loud but I know it can be better if we hound it
[Chorus]
My Euro, Euro, Euro Country
(The mam and the dad)
My Euro, Euro, Euro Country
(The present is past)
Everything I thought that I could be, oh
(He cut it in half)
My Euro, Euro, Euro Country
(I do all he asks)
[Outro]
My Euro, Euro, Euro Country
(I do all he asks)
Woo!
Hey!
Hey!
Ooh
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!

‘EURO-COUNTRY’ is a bit of a Frankenstein song—I wrote bits of this years ago for a completely different thing. I knew the album was going to be called EURO-COUNTRY and then I thought, ‘I’d love a title track for this record.’ Usually, it’s the other way around. The line ‘I feel like Kerry Katona’ c...
