Lyrics

[00:09.34] I thought a saw you in the Battle Ship
[00:12.04] but it was only a look alike
[00:14.61] She was nothing but a vision trick
[00:17.88] Under the warning light
[00:20.13] She was close
[00:21.72] Close enough to be your ghost
[00:24.27] But my chances turned to toast
[00:26.47] When I asked her if
[00:27.80] I could call her your name
[00:31.15]
[00:34.95] I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook
[00:37.76] Huddled up in a wicker chair
[00:40.51] I wandered over for a closer look
[00:43.05] And kissed whoever was sitting there
[00:45.66] She was close
[00:47.09] And she held me very thightly
[00:49.72] Till I asked awfully politetly
[00:52.43] "Please, can I call you her name?"
[00:56.64]
[00:59.87] And I elongated my lift home
[01:05.32] And I let him go the long way round
[01:09.71] I smell your scent on the seatbelt
[01:12.47] And kept my shortcuts to myself
[01:16.64]
[01:20.68] I thought I saw you in the Parrots Beak
[01:23.27] Messing with a smoke alarm
[01:26.19] It was too loud for me to hear her speak
[01:29.06] And she had a broken arm
[01:31.39] It was close
[01:32.85] So close that the walls were wet
[01:35.53] And she wrote out and later said
[01:38.01] "No, you can't call me her name"
[01:42.14]
[01:44.42] Tell me where's your hiding place
[01:49.77] I'm worried Ill forget your face
[01:54.04] And I've asked everyone
[01:57.02] I'm begining to think I imagined you all along
[02:02.73] I elongated my lift home
[02:08.14] Yeah I let him go the long way round
[02:12.55] I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
[02:15.35] And kept my shortcuts to myself
[02:37.11]
[02:42.71] I saw your sister in the cornerstone
[02:45.78] On the phone to the middle man
[02:48.40] When I saw that she was on her own
[02:51.21] I though she might understand
[02:53.72] She was close
[02:54.84] Well you couldnt get much closer
[02:57.42] She said "I'm really not supposed to
[03:00.33] But yes! you can call me anything you want"
[03:09.98]
