about
Summer in the City is a song that explores the highs and lows and stories of life in the city. From feeling like you’re winning in life, to turning a corner to tensions and violence, to dating app cringeworthy dating experiences and the death of David Bowie. It is a playful song that highlights our fickle nature and our scrolling boredom obsession.
lyrics
Summer in the city and I'm feeling fine
Oh it's pretty when you're winning and you never ever feel you'll leave the light
Summer in the city and I'm feeling fine
Somewhere in the city someone's losing all control
You'll find the next one that catches the bus they never ever made it home
Turn the corner fall in love, birds and bees and milk and honey until you swipe
Hello
Hello
Hello
Hello
Hello,
Hello
Hello
Hello
Summer in the city getting dirty, getting itchy feet
Tensions always building, kicking off in the street
Oh I think I hear the sirens oh I think it's time I leave this all behind
Summer in the city and I'm feeling...
Hello

Hello,

Hello
Hello
Really nice to meet you
Mines a gin and tonic
You've got a lot of baggage
You're really rather boring
Headed for the dance floor
Pulling lots of shapes strangely
I need a distraction
Time to make my exit
Sitting on the sofa watching Netflix on the telly
She's been downing coffee waiting for something to change
Oh he's scrolling through the news bid farewell to the Starman in the sky
Filtering is pretty, pretty fake, pretty obvious
Increase you hadn't noticed
Hello
Hello
Hello
Hello
Hello,
Hello
Hello
Hello
Really nice to meet you
Mines a gin and tonic
You've got a lot of baggage
You're really rather boring
Headed for the dance floor
Pulling lots of shapes strangely
I need a distraction
Time to make my exit
Really nice to meet you
Mines a gin and tonic
You've got a lot of baggage
You're really rather boring
Headed for the dance floor
Pulling lots of shapes strangely
I need a distraction
Time to make my exit
Really nice to meet you
Mines a gin and tonic
You've got a lot of baggage
You're really rather boring
Headed for the dance floor
Pulling lots of shapes strangely
I need a distraction
Time to make my exit
