- Cornerstone LyricsThought I saw you in The Battleship
but it was only a look a like
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 wicker chair
I wandered over for a closer look
And kissed whoever 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 on 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 where's your hiding place
I'm worried i'll forget your face
And i've asked everyone
And i'm beginning 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
but it was only a look a like
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 wicker chair
I wandered over for a closer look
And kissed whoever 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 on 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
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 where's your hiding place
I'm worried i'll forget your face
And i've asked everyone
And i'm beginning 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
