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

Its a kind of loneliness
Its a kind of emptiness
But Im not trying Im just rehearsing
For the perfect day

When I want you, Ill 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 Id 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

Its a kind of loneliness
Its a kind of emptiness
But Im not trying Im just rehearsing
For the perfect day

When I want you, Ill come looking for you
Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will.
