From a September 2019 press release: “With "Room 301”, Family Time present us with another piece of the pie in their holiday opera, The Great Abismo. Sung this time by the blue-eyed Maximilian, the song tells a slightly disturbing tale of ephemeral love and lust at the hotel."
The girl from room 301
I was talking to her
Came with a boy by her side
And her parents too, yeah
They like to come every year
When the weather’s cooler
This year she’s fallen in love
And they’ve brought him too, yeah
But when I saw her by the pool, pool
She tried so hard to play it cool
I said d’you wanna see my room, room
I could play my new fifteen tunes
She said she’d only love him with the lights off
It was only in the dark that she could find love
She said she’d only love him with the lights off
It was only in the dark that she could find love
Back in room 301
A boy is getting nervous
He’s ordered dinner for one
And the evening paper
When his girl knocks on the door
He feels much better
But he still asks where she’s been
And who’s been with her
Baby when you come to me
You make me feel like a man
Ah, it’s a bullshit guitar
Can’t play the guitar
She said she’d only love him with the lights off
It was only in the dark that she could find love
She said she’d only love him with the lights off
It was only in the dark that she could find love
