Eddie Izzard, a tribute: The ballad ...

... about the comedian who went to the USA and perhaps will return from there one day, or so we hope, and we sincerely hope the title of this song will become no longer than it already is.

This song summoned Eddie Izzard back to Europe. Two days after the publishing of this music video on YouTube, his "Work in Progress" London gigs were announced. This is all true. In my mind.

Hopefully, the Stripped tour will come to Europe soon!

- SONG LYRICS -

Oh, Eddie - dear Eddie
We haven't seen you in a long time now
Oh, Eddie - did you get lost somehow?
Where are you? How are you?
We're sitting in our castles waiting for you
Oh, Eddie! Now we're all feeling blue

When you toured in the good old days
You made Europeans laugh
Now you seem stuck over in L.A.
And we find that a bit daft
Where are you? How are you?
Please tell us when you plan to come back
Oh, Eddie! To give us babies on racks

Oh, Eddie - dear Eddie
The Church of England has got you in their prayer
Oh, Eddie! To bring you back from there
We sit through lonely dark nights
Longing for our executive transvestite
Eddie! We really miss you here

Don't get me wrong
Your TV, film and drama work just rocks
But yet again to see you live on stage
Would be the dog's bollocks!

(Ah, a rhytm maneuver)

Where are you? How are you?
It's time to leave the United States
Oh, Eddie! Know that it is never too late
You know that it is never too late
You know that is is never too late
To come home, to come home

[iliketoplayrockband]

jam!

[NorsePole]

Hm.. how to do striptease with trousers made out of jam. Just flush your legs? Slowly? An eternal Bond dilemma...

[Mosessgyrl]

I sure you all miss him in Europe, but we rather enjoy having him here in the United States. If he leaves, we'll have to write a song like this.

[NorsePole]

I think that could become a good medley over the years...

[sc0ttkclark]

Please add one more credit, the photo from the "Across the Universe" movie.

[NorsePole]

And one from The Riches too. Thanks for reminding me. And bringing Soft Charisma to my attention :-)

[Pamathey]

You can't have him, Europe! He's ours-- all ours!! America has stolen him with the cunning use of cash! hahaha

[poirot89]

Let's plant a flag on him!

[saganemc2]

They all return, ask Bowie.

[TheAcceber1]

we love you Eddie! we are praying for you too here in the USA

[theslidedaddy]

That was trully ingenious...!

[bububububak]

i don't want him to pick up american accent, give him back, or we shall fight!!!

[loulacheek]

Guys that's just genious!

[Arasemas]

Haha. xD Very funny.

I agree with poirot89 though. LEt's stick a flag on him! Oh, look America's claimed Eddie.

[urusova]

[blf112761]

This is just ... I LOVE IT!

[theorigonalsp4d]
