Rajoy notes change of tune by Athens

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is using a musical metaphor to describe a seeming change of approach by the Greek government as it tries to convince creditors to lend it money soon.

Rajoy told a press conference in Madrid that the "tune" being played by Greek has changed "and that's a good thing."

Rajoy said hes looking forward to seeing the "lyrics" on Thursday – a reference to the time when the Greek government has been asked to provide substantive reform proposals that underlies its request earlier for a three-year financial rescue from Europes bailout fund.

"I hope things work out," he said. "Greece has lost a lot of time in recent months."
