Cornerstone Lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
Review The Song (1)
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.
I thought I saw you in The Rusty Hook
Huddled up in wicker chair.
I wandered over for a closer look
And kissed whoever was sitting there.
She was close, and she held me very tightly
'Til I asked awfully politely, "Please
Can I call you her name?"
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 short cuts to myself.
I thought I saw you in The Parrot's Beak
Messing with the smoke alarm.
It was too loud for me to hear her speak
And she had a broken arm.
It was close, so close that the walls were wet
And she wrote it out in Letraset:
"No you can't call me her name".
Tell me where's your hiding place.
I'm worried I'll forget your face
And I've asked everyone.
I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along.
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 short cuts to myself
I saw your sister in The Cornerstone
On the phone to the middle man.
When I saw that she was on her own
I thought she might 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".

At first, when he went to the battleshp, he thought he saw his gf but was only a lookalike and flirtd with her and asked her if he could cal her name by his dead gf, and she said no. Then, he went on to rusty hook and wanderd and found a girl kissd her askd her again if he could her by his ex's name, and she said no too. And then again, he goes to parrot's beak, where he saw a girl who had a broken arm mesng wit d smoke alarm, and get close to her and askd her d same thng, n she also said no.
