about

Originally recorded in 2009. Vocals re-recorded and remixed in 2023.

This is one of 2 songs dedicated to Simon Robinson, because it was written for a hostel receptionist.

lyrics

Angela, you were working at reception
Having an argument with some Brazilian
About the price of eggs
It has shot into the trillions
And no-one really cares anymore

When I look into your eyes
I can tell that there are numerous delights
You have hidden from my view
What would it take
For you to show me around your closet
And if you've got the time
Can I get my key deposit back?

Angela, my room is on the 7th floor
I would like to show you
But you've seen it all before
I have to share it
With some guys from east Berlin
But then you already knew that
It was you who checked them in

But when I look into your eyes
I have to turn away
Cos I am only shy
I don't think you like
Your men that way
We are in Manhattan
Where everyone is confident
and everybody earns a lot
And spends it on champagne

Angela, this is not my choice
The song must end
It's 2am, I'm making to much noise
I can hear somebody banging on the wall
In the next room
I just wrote this song so you would know
I did not forget you
