Showering in Public

lt's early morning

I'm packing my backpack

Computer and swimwear, but no towel

I don't like showering at gyms

Never thought of why

Maybe it's 'cause I'm semi known

I don't want anyone listening to my albums

While telling their mums what my ass looks like

Showering in public

Showering in public

This is me recapping my life when it comes to showering in public

First grade, some guy at the pool kept his office

Next to the girl's locker room

Drinking his coffee while watching us shower

I don't know his story

Someone said he was a pervert

I'm like, "Well, maybe he just liked coffe"

But the rumour alone gave us a sense that you have to watch yourself while showering in public

Showering in public

Have to use a towel strategically

Shower one body part at a time

Two times a week, we had gym class in grades four to nine

So that was two times a week that the boys could sneak into our locker rooms

To try to catch us nakedlt became a tradition

Still remember their bored faces

Like they thought we would get upset if they didn't show up

To watch us shower in public

Shower in public

You couldn't shower and then you would get accused of being sweaty in public

At seventeen, in the locker room

One of the bathrooms was broken

It had a sign that said 'BROKEN'

But some of the girls from the arts programme opened the door anyway

Found a guy who drilled a hole through the wall

To watch us all come in after gym and then

Magically shower in public

Shower in public

They chased him down the hall

The paper published the news with a fun caricature

It's fun, come to think of it

I know no less erotic places than locker rooms

Sweaty women drinking protein drinks with sweaters but no pants on

Talking about kids and work and training

Blowing noses and laughing and complaining

Jens,I must go now

I'm heading home

On the yard, a small amount of snow has laid torest

I hope you bought yourself a quilted jacket down in G枚teborg

Jens, I wish you all the best
