Shiteibo-i na Aitsu (That Guy the City Boy)
Leo Ieiri
Text

My lovers are like chewing gum
Once the flavor is gone, I go on to the next
I go on like that and hang out with the guys
It’s 5PM in Shibuya

With the same triviality as on LINE
I went out with them
Until all of a sudden that guy appeared

My tactic here is to act a little drunk
There’s absolutely no response
I can’t conquer him
I’m acting like some kind of idiot!

That city boy is annoying but I’ve got him on my mind
Wait a minute! This kinda thing is a first
He’s always got his drip coffee and he’s a rare vinyl collector
Is this what I’ve heard rumors of, that thing so called love?

Again it’s 5PM in Shibuya
It’s the usual lineup
Just doing my thing and hang out with the guys
but I’m absentminded

I wonder, what’s that guy doing?
Is he not coming yet?
Why’s it that all my messages still say unread?

That’s it, I’m going to slip out
to that record shop in Shimokita
I wonder, is that guy there?
I’m acting like some kind of idiot!

I’m annoying to that city boy but I’ve been captivated
He’s completely opposite from the guys before
He’s got Jack Purcells under his feet and a Winston lighter in his shirt pocket
Is this what I’ve heard rumors of, that thing so called love?

That city boy is annoying but I’ve got him on my mind
Wait a minute! This kinda thing is a first
He’s always got his drip coffee and he’s a rare vinyl collector
Is this what I’ve heard rumors of, that thing so called love?
