Geneva

Geneva (/ˈnvə/, French: Genève [ʒə.nɛv], Arpitan: Genèva [dzəˈnɛva], German: Genf [ɡɛnf], Italian: Ginevra [dʒiˈneːvra], Romansh: Genevra) is the second most populous city in Switzerland (after Zürich) and is the most populous city of Romandy, the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Situated where the Rhône exits Lake Geneva, it is the capital of the Republic and Canton of Geneva.

The municipality (ville de Genève) has a population (as of December 2014) of 197,376, and the canton (which is essentially the city and its inner-ring suburbs) has 482,545 residents. In 2011, the compact agglomération franco-valdo-genevoise (Greater Geneva or Grand Genève) had 915,000 inhabitants in both – Switzerland and France (< 30mins distance). Within Swiss territory, the commuter area named "Métropole lémanique" contains a population of 1.25 million. This area is essentially spread east from Geneva towards the Riviera area (Vevey, Montreux) and north-east towards Yverdon-les-Bains, in the neighbouring canton of Vaud (< 60mins distance).

    Geneva (band)

    Geneva were a British alternative rock band from Aberdeen, Scotland.

    Career

    The band were formed in 1992 by vocalist Andrew Montgomery and guitarist Steven Dora. They recruited second guitarist Stuart Evans, bass player Keith Graham and finally drummer Craig Brown. Craig was later replaced by Douglas Caskie. Originally the band were called Sunfish.

    One of their demos found their way to Suede’s record label, Nude, who signed the band in 1996. The band changed their name, originally to Garland, then later to Geneva, and released their debut single "No One Speaks" the same year. The band garnered enough press to headline NME's annual Bratbus tour of up and coming bands in early 1997. The band released second single "Into the Blue" to coincide with the tour.

    Musical style

    The band fitted well with the current musical scene and were well promoted by the UK music press of the time. As a reaction to the fading Britpop scene many bands rejected the laddish ideals of bands like Oasis and wrote darker, more intelligent songs, in the vein of contemporaries such as Gene and Strangelove. Montgomery’s relatively high-pitched vocals were often compared to Suede's Brett Anderson.

    Geneva

    by: Trophy Scars

    She walks into a gas station restroom
    She pulls out a key attached to string
    She ties the string to her teeth, yeah
    She swallows the key, uncomfortably
    I've been following her
    For two weeks in Geneva
    Just to get the key
    Hope she hasn't spotted me
    I've been trailing her
    Via hitch from a trucker
    Who was talky and greedy
    He cost me 80 euros
    We follow her fancy black limo
    To the airport outside of Geneva
    We pull up to terminal C
    I give the driver an extra sixty to forget about me
    It's kind of hard to say when this all began
    She and I were mercenaries in Japan
    We both were so young
    We both fell in love
    Five years later we were getting ready to retire
    Saving money from the hits we did together
    We were high profile killers
    No bullshit
    So we moved to Spain
    We both changed our names
    Settled down
    Got out of the game
    And I still hear her voice
    And I still smell her hair
    Dammit these dreams
    When she comes back to me
    I can't believe my luck
    The only person I could trust
    You know killing is tough
    When you first fall in love
    Yeah she two timed me
    Yeah she stole the key
    Moved all my money
    To some bank across the sea
    She books a flight to Toronto tonight
    I'm heading towards a lock smith in Michigan
    You know I could've just killed her
    But she's not that kind of girl, no
