Lyrics:
Got on the train from Cambridgeshire
Moved down to an East London flat
Got a moustache and a low cut vest
Some purple leggings
and a sailor tat
Just one gear on my fixie bike
got a plus one here for my gig tonight
I play synth…
We all play synth
20-20 vision just a pair of empty frames
Dressing like a nerd although i never got the grades
I remember when the kids at school would call me names
Now were taking over their estates
woah ho

Batik is a traditional method of creating brightly colored patterns on cloth, and it is native to many countries like Indonesia. The competition showcases Indonesian batik to help the world take notice. Our correspondent in New York has the details.
The Indonesian Ambassador for the U.S. launched the American Batik Design Competition last Wednesday in New York.
[Dr. Dino Patti Djalal, Indonesian Ambassador for United States]:
“In the beginning, we were looking for a creative way to promote batik. One way that we chose was to make Americans feel like they also own batik.”
The theme of this competition is “The Spirit of America in the Heritage of Batik.”
