A melancholic yet humorous ballad that captures the nostalgic pain of seeing an ex-girlfriend. With a vivid depiction of a rainy British day in an old town, the narrator reflects on the bittersweet memories and awkward encounters with a charmingly sarcastic tone. This song artfully blends deep emotion with a quirky sense of humor, reminiscent of the unique style of The Last Shadow Puppets.
(Verse 1)
In the pouring rain on a cobbled street,
I spotted you 'neath an old oak tree,
Your hair was a mess, like a bird's nest pressed,
As you laughed with your friends, what a sight to see.
(Chorus)
Oh, the last time I saw you, it felt like a dream,
Just like a bad film, or so it would seem,
You smiled like the sun on a wintry day,
But oh, how I wished you’d just look my way.
(Verse 2)
Your coat was tattered, vintage, of course,
I thought about us, oh what a force,
In a coffee shop, sipping brew nice and hot,
But now I stand here, lost in thought.
(Chorus)
Oh, the last time I saw you, with your quirky angle,
You told a bad joke, but I couldn’t dangle,
From the memories of us like a bad scotch tape,
Faded and crumpled, just like your Cape.
(Bridge)
The clouds rolled in, and the heavens cried,
As I choked on the words I couldn’t decide,
