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.
