Zoutelande [English translation]

Verse 1

It’s December and we wanna escape this weather

But we’re honest, California won’t happen ever

So we’ll snuggle in a shack – it won’t cost a fortune

My folks – they’ve got a hut by the sea in Clacton – in cloudy Clacton.

Chorus

And we’re now chilling out in this hut down in Clacton

Only our jokes keep us cosy and warm

Crack open some beers that we found in a cupboard

Yeah, we’re glad that we’re here now, glad that we’re here now

Seeing the sky, we’ve given up on sunshine

Rain lashes down and the waves crash ashore

But as long as we’ve got one other to talk to

We’re just glad that we’re here now, glad that we’re here now

Verse 2

Nothing beats a slow road trip down the coast of England

Dodgy coffee, fish and chips, and the sound of seagulls

Nothing matters when we’re cruising and singing anthems

Then forget about our emails – when we meet Jack Daniels – aha….

Chorus

And we’re now chilling out in this hut down in Clacton

Only our jokes keep us cosy and warm

Chasing* some beer that we found in a cupboard

Yeah, we’re glad that we’re here now, glad that we’re here now

Seeing the sky, we’ve given up on sunshine

Rain lashes down and the waves crash ashore

But as long as we do whatever takes our fancy

We’re just glad that we’re here now, glad that we’re here now

*This is a play on words. Whisky can be a “chaser” for beer.
