about

Inspired by travels to Ontario, Canada.

lyrics

I met a girl on Kincardine beach
Where I strummed my guitar and stared at the lake
She drove from Toronto, but came from the east
Her nails had the sparks, but her eyes took the cake.

We talked about noses, and Persian girls
I gave her my charm, but I remained on my turf
She wasn't my type but I wouldn't resist
If she stepped up closer and gave me a kiss

But she gave me a fiver , then she sat down
I gave her my best and played her a song
She praised my music but said that this place
Was not the right spot for me to get paid

I thanked her kindly for her sound advise
I wished I could join her but to no surprise
She got in the car, in the passengers seat
I turned to the sunset, and swallowed defeat

EP Review in Luminous Dash:
"In de beknopte luisterduur van iets meer dan twintig minuten, slaagt
Granola Import erin je mee te zuigen in zes ontwapenende verhalen, al dan niet omhuld met een donker randje."
