about

Internet cafes in Spain have the worst toilets in the world. They're not even bad, they're 'interesting'. I would have liked to have photographed all of the ones I was in, but it was just too upsetting.

lyrics

25 computer screens, sitting in a row
Skypein at midnight with nowhere else to go.
Spending all your evenings in an internet cafe
Skypeing at midnight, wasting your time away

You've been Skypeing, and it's only
A very fine line that seperates alone and lonely.

Paint peeling off the wall, toilet blocked and broke
When did my life turn into this internet joke?
There's a woman in another world who knows my name
A smell of decomposing, and ain't it kind of a shame

When you've been Skypeing, all night long
You could have been writing a song.

And as the evening falls, on a long distance call
You look to the hills, and say
'why do I still stay'?

When having those you love around you is it's own reward
Sitting here alone all night, baby ain't you bored.

Waiting for a miracle, something to make it right
But sitting here all on your own
Watching the evening come
Then Skypeing right through the night.
