Minor hit in Netherlands (#45) and Australia (#48) in 1981. It is a bit strange in that although it was written by Joe Strummer and Mick Jones, and produced by Jones, it sounds like 70s Europop. Apart from the somewhat sassy lyrics, I could imagine Nana Mouskouri singing it.

Were those the guys from the Clash in the video? They kinda looked like them.

Luck lad Mick was !

Mick can't fail

This is Just a diamond star song on nightly heaven.....

I'm a Clash huge fan. When I listen to Mick Ellen duet got goosebumps!

I did know because she was Mick Jones (Clash) girlfriend. So I bought this album. I loved it, I'm still loving it. What a beatiful voice. ❤

Nothing ordinary about anything Ellen sang. Always so full of life.

The Clash helped her by writing songs for this album. That's why it is so good.

Written by Joe Strummer and Mick Jones of the Clash; the latter was dating Ellen at the time. The Clash played on this album. You can hear alot of 'Sandinista!'

LOVED this when it came out, still love it - takes me back to my youth

Clash should have let her put Hitsville Uk on her album

Wow! The Night Court woman. 😊

love this song and love this video

She's singing about getting you to bang her, isn't she. 😲

This is practically a Clash incognito song

didnt cut it like the first sorry to say

Why was this song not a big international hit ?? Just hear it today for the first time . It is awesome

Fabulous talent ❤️

Toute ma jeunesse, merci et bravo Ellen !

Harry,Dan,Mac and Bull from Night Court would've loved this. Billie Young singing!

To the sons of Europe: won't you come inside My shuttered palace and I am the bride Now I'm a woman, I walk past your café To the sons of Europe, I call out and say Now as I stroll down your boulevard You hear those Fiats and taxis Blow their horns so hard When I go out walking Flocks of birds rise from the square And all the seigneurs and monsieurs Pull up to the curb Ah To the sons of Europe: won't you come inside My shuttered palace and I am the bride Now I'm a woman, I walk past your café To the sons of Europe, I call out and say My shuttered palace lies away from the sun It isn't far, there, a little further So why don't you come? You call out your offers to me in your mother tongue But you don't act so macho When I ask you to come Ah To the sons of Europe: won't you come inside My shuttered palace and I am the bride Now I'm a woman, I walk past your café To the sons of Europe, I call out and say Ah To the sons of Europe: won't you come inside My shuttered palace and I am the bride Now I'm a woman, I walk past your café To the sons of Europe, I call out and say

Mooie vrouw toen en nu nog geweldige mooie muziek goeie zangeres

Absolutely has to be one of the great lost classics of the '80s. Received much airplay in Boston :)

So grateful for these uploads.My vinyl copy is pretty scratched and it's nice to revisit this lost classic in pristine form.

Ellen was dating Mick Jones of The Clash at the time he produced this album for her- The Spirit Of St. Louis. They recorded this album at the same time The Clash were recording their Sandinista! album, so a lot of the band members and studio musicians appear on both albums. Just some trivia for trivia's sake.

How would you interpret these lyrics? I'm sure they have some deep meaning?

A very electric performance of a good song! Michael 22020

Holy !#$% what a great song!!! Ellen and company, delivers again. Michael 2020

Electric!!! Wow a great performance of a classic track. Michael 2020

I first heard the album when it was released and was blown away. Such a unique voice, and the whole album has, as some else put it, a bohemian feel to it. And so underrated..
