Momus - Athenian lyrics

They're locking down the planet
Now as liberties unravel
I hope you're in your happy place
Because it's hard to travel
Me I'm being Athenian and loving every minute
A place like this, a time like this
It's easy to be in it
I guess the only question
Now I can't leave anyhow
Is how to be a little more Athenian than thou

The feral cats are friendly and
The coffee's good and cheap
And up the hill from me I
See a markеt marks the street
A maze of orange parasols
A blazе of fruit and veg
A radical rembetiko twinkling at the edge
In the National Garden for
Their Instagram accounts
Teenagers throw poses as sexy as the plants
I took the tram to Edem and
The shingle to the gulls
I felt the need to climb the
Sea or swim the hills
I don't know what to say unless I say today
Has been Athenian in every way

Athenian by name, Athenian by nature
You glide along the beaches
From Piraeus to Glyfada
Go shopping in Kifissia like
It's Beverly Hills
AWOL in Kolonaki, ogling the girls
The views from Likabetus and Philopappou hill
Although you climb a thousand times they
Still give you a thrill
I guess the only question
Now you can't leave anyhow
Is how to be a little more Athenian than thou

Then ime touristas, eh malakka
Ime Atheneias!
