Paroles: Arctic Monkeys. Humbug. Cornerstone.

:
I thought I saw you in the Battleship
but it was only a look alike
She was nothing but a vision trick,
Under the warning light.
She was close,
close enough to be your ghost,
But my chances turned to toast
When I asked her if
I could call her your name.

I thought I saw you in the rusty hook,
Huddled up in a wicker chair
I wandered over for a closer look
And kissed who ever was sitting there.
She was close,
And she held me very tightly
Till I asked awfully politely,
please can I call you her name?

And I elongated my lift home,
yeah I let him go the long way round
I smelt your scent in the seat belt
And kept my short cuts to myself.

I thought I saw you in the parrot's beak
Messing with the smoke alarm
It was too loud for me to hear her speak
And she had a broken arm.
It was close, so close that
the walls were wet
And she wrote it out in letraset,
no, you can't call me her name!

Tell me wehere's your hiding place,
I'm worried I'll forget your face.
And I've asked everyone
And I'm beggining to think
I imagined you all along.

I elongated my lift home.
Yeah I let him go the long way round
I smelt your scent on the seat belt,
And kept my short cuts to myself.

I saw your sister in the cornerstone
on the phone to the middle man
When I saw that she was on her own
I thought she might understand
She was close,
well you couldn't get much closer,
She said: i'm really not supposed to but yes,
You can call me anything you want.
