lyrics

Her name was Nectarine, face like you’ve never seen
She worked the night shift as a pole dancer
She ended up in this strip club, it’s a story lacking in love
The questions you pose she will not answer

She has pride
She has strength inside
She is wise
Behind those hazel eyes

Her name was Nectarine, she took it from a movie scene
A Persian criminal was smuggling contraband
He hid it in wooden crates, covered with nectarines and dates
The surface was sweet but beneath there lay sleight of hand

She has ideas
And she has no fears
But she’s in arrears
Though she will not shed any tears

Any tears, any tears, any tears

Her name was Nectarine, would have made a wondrous queen
But she strips nights to make ends meet
At home her glitter falls away, she wipes the makeup from her face
She stares in the mirror and sees beyond this rundown street

about

Roger Hammond Amsterdam, Netherlands

Based near Amsterdam. I write, play guitar, sing and record. I try to write interesting lyrics and occasionally I think they are. A lot of the songs end up with a calm sound and emphasize the vocals and acoustic guitar. My early influences were Paul Simon, Tom Waits, Jethro Tull, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Chopin, The Beatles, Elvis Costello, Otis Redding and a ton more along the way ... more
