Arctic Monkeys - Cornerstone lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Thought I saw you in the battleship <br>

but it was only a look a like <br>

She was nothing but a vision trick <br>

Under the warning light <br>

She was close, close enough to be your ghost <br>

But my chances turned to toast <br>

When I asked her if I could call her your name <br>

<br>

I thought I saw you in the rusty hook <br>

Huddled up in wicker chair <br>

I wandered up for a closer look <br>

And kissed who ever was sitting there <br>

<br>

She was close, and she held me very tightly <br>

Till I asked awfully politely, please <br>

Can I call you her name <br>

<br>

And I elongated my lift home, <br>

Yeah I let him go the long way round <br>

I smelt your scent on the seatbelt <br>

And kept my shortcuts to myself <br>

<br>

I thought I saw you in the parrots beak <br>

Messing with the smoke alarm <br>

It was too loud for me to hear her speak <br>

And she had a broken arm <br>

<br>

It was close, so close that the walls were wet <br>

And she wrote it out in letraset <br>

No you can't call me her name <br>

<br>

Tell me where's your hiding place <br>

I'm worried I'll forget your face <br>

And I've asked everyone <br>

And I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along <br>

<br>

I elongated my lift home <br>

Yeah I let him go the long way round <br>

I smelt your scent on the seatbelt <br>

And kept my shortcuts to myself <br>

<br>

I saw your sister in the cornerstone <br>

On the phone to the middle man <br>

When I saw that she was on her own <br>

I thought she might understand <br>

She was close, well you couldn't get much closer <br>

She said I'm really not supposed to but yes, <br>

You can call me anything you want<br>

<BR><BR>

<BR>
