Thought 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 up 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 on the seatbelt   And kept my shortcuts to myself      I thought I saw you in the parrots 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 seatbelt   And kept my shortcuts 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
