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.
