All the corny classics were playing
on the hotel dinner playlist, and
later there'll be a display of cultural dancing
- 'We really should have gone into town.'
- 'So tired though.'
- 'I know, it's exhausting doing nothing. Oh I used to like this one.'
I listen intently, confusion falls upon my grizzled features
and ... nothing - 'What is this?'
- 'What is this! You know all the songs, that's what you always say.'
I knead my chin in a hopefully amusing way.
- 'It's catchy, sounds 90s, maybe not British. I give up.'
- 'Ha ha! Gotcha, I win!' gloating
- 'So what is it then?' annoyed
- 'It's Lemon Tree. You must know Lemon Tree.' nodding along, humming along
- 'With all due respect, what the hell is Lemon Tree?' playfully cross
- 'This is Lemon Tree. Everyone knows it.' smug
I didn't know Lemon Tree
