Prolagus commented on the word councillor
I know where the summer goes
If you're scraping a pot, and your head is hot
Put your head down, put your thumbs up girl
With the smell of hot desk
And the glitter of your step
He was right, he's the upcoming guru of the city
No one told the city councillors.
(I know where the summer goes, by Belle and Sebastian)
