I saw you in a painting, I could swear it was you

You were sitting on a balcony in Eighteen Thirty-Two

You had long hair, a complexion fair

Just the same as you do now, 'cept you were younger there

I'm on the outside looking in

Monday afternoon's when the women are about

And the cash machine informs you that the money's run out

I'm on the outside looking in

Oh my, my, my, a stranger by my side

Die, die, die, die, last night I should have died

For once in my life, I'm on the ice

I saw you in a painting, I could swear it was you

You were sitting on a balcony in Eighteen Thirty-Two

You had long hair, a complexion fair

Just the same as you do now, 'cept you were younger there

I'm on the outside looking in

Oh my, my, my, a stranger by my side

Die, die, die, die, last night I should have died

For once in my life, I'm on the ice

(I'm on the ice)
