Town Center

Good old Sebastian used to love good old town center. There you had a bus shelter with "Fuck you all Corby scum" written on it, a shopping center with seventy-six Birthday & Christmas cards selling shops, a bum yealing "Big Issue" every ten seconds to get rid of the pile of newspapers he had in his hand and a couple of off-licence shops to provide the British army with cheap food and alcohol. This holy paradise has a name: Kettering (apparently not to be pronounced like 'catering', but I have no clue how it should be pronounced)

This is the town center, it's just like hell
I've got big issues and stories to tell
What language are you speaking?
Where are you from?
I am from the train station
I'm lost in translation
I'm not attention-seeking, that's my bloody job
Man i've got big issues, yes i've got a lot

You can find me in the town center, this place is just like hell
I've got big issues stories and stories to tell
You can find me in the town center and if you have the guts
You can fight me in the town center, everybody does

I was heading for some newlands
Now I'm standing in the moor
I think i make a few prints by the end of fall
They call it arthur when ever i surrender
It would feel like another dead november

This is the town center it's just like hell
I've got big issues and stories to tell
You can find me in the town center and if you have the guts
You can fight me in the town center, everybody does

What language are you speaking, you crazy nowhere man?
What God do you believe in? What is his name?
What issues do you bring with? Tell me: are they really big ?
I wish someone would ask for them
But they don't give a shit

What people said so far

"The Bank, from Paris, France, have recently uploaded some brilliant lo-fi recordings. Reminiscent of Pink Floyd's dark visions of school and English bleakness, the Clash's later ruminations on same, and even Hard-Fi's more contemporary pop insurgencies, "Lazy Girl" has an instant appeal. Rough and ready home spun tracks behind a lyric that is completely realized. Thumbs up, Bank! "

"Wow... I really like you guys!!!! :) There is something about you and I can't put my finger on it... These tracks remind me of a couple 80''s alternative bands put together but very original at the same time."

Last few words

After listening to our story, you may think i have a grudge against England. I don't. Since England, in my mind, will be linked forever with George Eliot's Mill on the Floss, Alan Silitoe's Saturday night and sunday morning, Lindsay Anderson's Lucky man, Constable, Turner, the Beatles, the Clash, Joy Division, the black rain of Liverpool, the cosy pubs and the melancholy of the Kent seaside. That's what comes to my mind when i think of England. I'll remember the streets of York, the fair in Great Yarmouth, the drinking sessions in Camden town and how i fell in a night club when i slipped on a pool of beer.
All in all, it's just a game, another travel and another episode. I hope you enjoyed this one. There won't be a season 2.

Yours faithfully,

your friend Alex
