You sent greetings from Liverpool 
and I took the next train 
Passed by people putting flowers on graves and 
We got delayed 
When I arrived you had vanished like steam 
and left me in a diesel day 
So I walked around and spent ten pounds 
in amusement arcades 

Felt like I was in a field 
looking for a pin 

It's a kind of loneliness 
It's a kind of emptiness 
But I'm not trying I'm just rehearsing 
For the perfect day 

When I want you, I'll come looking for you 
Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will. 

I took a spoon to the swimming pool 
to drain your trace away 
And I changed my name so only my looks remain 
And if looks could kill I'd need a license for my face 
'Cos where his fists put bruises 
A scheming smile now takes their place 

Felt like I was in a field 
looking for a pin 

It's a kind of loneliness 
It's a kind of emptiness 
But I'm not trying I'm just rehearsing 
For the perfect day 

When I want you, I'll come looking for you 
Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will
