Well I've been up to Paris
And I've slept in a park
Went down to Barcelona
Someone broke in my car
And I'll search the world over
For my angel in black
Yeah, I'll search the world over
For a Euro-trash Girl

Took the train down to Athens
And I slept in a fountain
Some Swiss junkie in Turin
Ripped me off for my cash
Yeah, I'll search the world over
For my angel in black
Yeah, search the world over
For a Euro-trash Girl

The CRS on the metro
Shook me down for a bribe
On my knees for the sergeant
When my passport arrived
Yeah, I'll search the world over
For my angel in black
Yeah, I'll search the world over
For a Euro-trash Girl

Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash girl
Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash girl

Called my mom from a payphone
I said "I'm down to my last."
She said "I sent you to college
Now go call your dad."
And the waitress that he married
Well she hung up the phone
You know she never did like me
But I can stand on my own

Sold my plasma in Amsterdam
Spent it all in a night
Buying drinks at the Melk Weg
For a soldier in drag
And I'll search the world over
For my angel in black
Yeah, I'll search the world over
For a Euro-trash Girl

Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash girl
Euro-trash Girl, I'm a Euro-trash girl

Yeah, I'll search the world over
For my angel in black
Yeah, I'll search the world over
For a Euro-trash Girl

Solo Johnny

Got a tattoo in Berlin
And a case of the crabs
A rose and a dagger
On the palm of my hand
And I'll search the world over
For my angel in black
Yeah, I'll search the world over
For a Euro-trash Girl

Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash girl
Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash girl

Yeah, I'll search the world over
For my angel in black
Yeah, I'll search the world over
For a Euro-trash Girl

My wife and I saw Cracker in Cicinnati a couple of weeks ago. F*#%in jammed!!!



Yes, they are great live for sure! I got to see them at a street fair in Chicago several  years ago and ROCKED. I think many (most) people had no idea who they were but you could see more and more  become intrigued and slowly started paying attention; it was palpable to observe.

How old are you sarah2? Like 5 or younger? Why waste the effort of thinking this statement up and typing it out? I am surprised I am the first to reply to you after 7 months.  I am a HUGE Cracker fan and have been for many years. I am offended by these words of yours!

I recall well how freaked-out and happy I was to discover this great hidden track on this CD that I bought while on vacation in Guam in July of '94. I took it back to Nanao with me, where I had my nice private English school gig, and played it almost daily for weeks.

i’m glad William continues to play bands like cracker that don’t necessarily get very good ratings. I love cracker. I’ve come to realize that nostalgia has a lot to do with how I rate songs. I grew up in Southern California listening to Cracker and a lot of other indie bands that don’t seem to get rated very well on Radio Paradise. Thank you for the courage to keep playing a fine eclectic mix of music.!

I know Bill loves a good bass line, and this song certainly has one. Played by Davey Faragher (who is part of Elvis Costello's backing band, The Imposters).

Good old Radio Paradise. Hadn't heard that one before - and loved it. So I bought it and hopefully Bill and Rebecca get a little bump on the money side. Can I just say that there is a little posse of Paradise fans here around Bath in the UK who all feel that RP is almost always just about the sort of music you can totally live with.

Thanks a whole huge bunch RP for being so brilliant and we really, really appreciate it.

In spite of #MeToo, I would love a Euro Trash Girl. I would search the world over for her. Haven't heard a song I instantly loved the first time I heard it, in a long time. My only disappointment to the song is, he doesn't find her.We need Euro-Trash Girl2.

This song is so funny.

Reminds me of the young American and French tourists in Bolivia who basically showed up to get high.   Some of them established close bonds with folks doing multi-year prison sentences in La Paz for trafficking.  Back then, the jail was the best place to score cocaine according to many.   (Yes, I know.... totally dumbass.)

From what I heard, young French tourists touching down in Peru were asking where they could buy cocaine before leaving the tarmac.

As an introduction to this song, Bill shared a funny anecdote about his days in radio.  A woman called the listener request line to complain about this song, and the following exchange ensued:

Caller: “Ugh!  Why are you playing this song?  The title, ‘You’re a Trash Girl...’ it’s so disrespectful of women!”

Bill: “It’s not ‘You’re a Trash Girl...’, it’s EURO Trash Girl.”

Caller: “Oh, and that’s any better?!”

Willie,  I have joked on an occasion or two that my wife and I are 'trash'.  You should see the negative looks from other pasty-faced folks.  Wow!

I suspect that some folks feel incredibly insecure about their socio-economic status.  

Great song for today.  Possibly the 'trashiest' person to become president of the USA during my lifetime is now in power.

I was so pleased to be informed of this secret song — & fellow buried gem I Drive My Car — when I got this CD in '95 in Guam that I spread the word. The expat buddies and I in Ishikawa sure jammed it up, from Ken's Bar and Un Poco in Kanazawa to Wakura Onsen.

Saw Cracker Acoustic live in Columbus and they did this song.  Great band, going to see them in Philly Jan 13.  Terrific guitar solo, reminds me of my summer in Europe, 1983.  From Richmond Va, great band.

A great story in a great song with some great lines . . .

Called my mom from a payphone 
I said "I'm down to my last." 
She said "I sent you to college... 
now go call your dad." 
And the waitress that he married, 
well she hung up the phone. 
You know she never did like me, 
but I can stand on my own.
