lyrics

She said she’s here to study and take pictures of the city in the summer
I show her around the corners of the city that I think are cool
She buys me a smoothie and teaches me how to say: ‘Hello, how are you?’

We bump into each other as we walk down the street

Working part time in that trendy shop
Your boss is always looking at you, tries to feel you up
I missed my last train but I can crash at your place
After clubbing I get hungry so let’s go eat something

I wonder, are there any locals in London?
First they come then they go before I get to know them

Recommending a Russian writer
And the music that you used to cry to when you broke up with your first boyfriend
I like learning all those peculiar phrases
That result from a funny translation that goes on in your mind

I wonder, are there any locals in London?
First they come then they go before I get to know them

I wonder, are there any locals in London?
First they come then they go before I get to know them

Cornelis Gerard London, UK

True Stories + Living Music

I tells stories about daily life in gritty and glorious detail; punk manifestos and indie-rock anecdotes. Occasionally I create experimental pop and synth soundscapes, because why not?
