Lyrics

My old friend how've you been
Would you care to let me in
How's that Dan-electro boy
How's your sister up in Troy
Does she still have scarlet lips
Lips that launched the thousand ships
Ships that sailed the endless sea
For the one called Emily
Summer 1958
And a bolt from heaven's gate
Had us shaking in our shoes
Fender Twin and Persian blues
Well we took those gifts and ran
Formed a band where no one sang
And a special gift for me
Was a girl called Emily
Surf guitar was at death's door
In the spring of sixty four
On a beach with cringing sands
Strangers laughed when we held hands
Hail the hunchback and his queen
It's not even Halloween
How she blushed and set me free
Fare thee well oh Emily
All those English blues rock bands
Flogging records to our fans
They know nothing of what's cool
And those clowns from Liverpool
I won't listen to their band
I just want to hold her hand
