Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A song about a search for the Albert Hall
[Verse 2]
I 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
[Verse 3]
I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook
Huddled up in a wicker chair
I wandered over for a closer look
And smooched whoever was sitting there
She was close and she squeezed me very tightly
Till I asked awfully politely
"Please, can I call you her name?"
[Verse 4]
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 shortcuts to myself
[Verse 5]
I thought I'd caught you in the Parrot's Beak
Fiddling with the smoke alarm
It was too loud for me to hear her speak
And she had a broken arm
It was close, it was so close that the walls were wet
And she wrote it out in Letraset
"No, you can't call me her name"
[Verse 6]
So tell me where's your hiding place?
You see I'm worried I'll forget your face
And I've asked everyone
I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along
[Verse 7]
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 shortcuts to myself
[Verse 8]
Mister Jamie Cook on the electric guitar
[Verse 9]
I saw your sister in the Cornerstone
On the phone to the middle man
When I saw that she was on her own
That's when I knew that she'd 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"
