Mick Sumbling - 'Nice Room For A Girl'
An original song from the album by El Mick 'Testing Times' (available on iTunes and Spotify) written by Mick Sumbling, singer-songwriter living in Sabadell, Barcelona, with acknowledgements to J. Carles Torres - who suggested I write a song with the title after seeing an ad pinned up on a notice board at the M1 building, UAB campus in Bellaterra.
Featuring Joan Casas on tenor sax, Jordi Mourelo on drums, Aitor Chartos on bass, Llongue on guitars, El Mick on electric organ and vocals.
Video by Llongue & Pove Films, with scenes from the Tatiana Lukashevich film: The Foundling (1939)
If you need accommodation
Or you're trying to find your station
There are one or two locations come to mind
As you walk in the main doorway
On the ground floor corridor they
Have the campus notice boards where you may find
"NICE ROOM FOR GIRL"
Nice room for mademoiselle
"NICE ROOM FOR GIRL"
Ideal for a woman starting out in the world
And the ad goes on to mention
The fast Internet connection
And the kitchenette dimensions and the view
In amongst the information
For exchanges and donations
With a number you tear off and take with you
"NICE ROOM FOR GIRL"
Nice room for mademoiselle
"NICE ROOM FOR GIRL"
Ideal for a woman starting out in the world
And much later on I creep in
And I look upon her sleeping
With a promise I'll be keeping well in mind
That until the day she's older
With a good head on square shoulders
She won't ever have to look too far to find
"NICE ROOM FOR GIRL"
Nice room for mademoiselle
"NICE ROOM FOR GIRL"
Bright and airy and freshly painted
Completely renovated, well-situated
Ideal for a woman starting out in the world
