Welcome back to another #MusicMonday! It’s not about books, but about music, and I’m looking forward to presenting you with a taste of my playlist. It’s the brainchild of Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek, but my inspiration comes from the lovely Claire from A Knight’s Reads. Every Monday, I’ll be choosing a song to share with you. The Spotify playlist is here and it will be updated as I go along.

I’m mixing things up a little bit this week. Today’s track is not from my playlist, but as it’s my nephew’s birthday this week, I asked him to choose his favourite song.

George Ezra: Green Green Grass

Well she moves like lightning
And she counts to three
Then she turns out all the lights
And says she’s coming for me
Now put your hands up
This is a heist
And there’s no one in here living
Gonna make it out alive

Load it up when the sun comes down
Getaway car for two young lovers
Me and the girl straight out of town
Over the hills and undercover
Undercover, undercover
She said

Green green grass, blue blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
Green green grass, blue blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die

We go together, Adam and Eve
But the girl is so much more than just another apple thief
Yeah, she’s a genius (genius), watch and learn
How she sets the world on fire just to watch the sucker burn

Load it up when the sun comes down
Getaway car for two young lovers
Me and the girl straight out of town
Over the hills and undercover
Undercover, undercover
She said

Green green grass, blue blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
Green green grass, blue blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die

Throw a party (yeah), throw a party yeah
Throw a party (woo), on the day that I die
Throw a party (hey), throw a party yeah
Throw a party, on the day that I die

Load it up when the sun comes down
Getaway car for two young lovers
Me and the girl straight out of town
Over the hills and undercover
Undercover, undercover
She said

Green green grass, blue blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
Green green grass, blue blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
Green green grass, blue blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
Green green grass, blue blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die.

Writers: Joel Pott, George Ezra, Stuart David Price.
