Showering In Public

공유하기
It's early morning
I'm packing my backpack
Computer and headphones
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 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 coffee"
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 naked
It 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 anway
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 to rest
I hope you bought yourself a
quilted jacket down in Goteborg
Jens, I wish you all the best
