Cornerstone (Live)

Lyrics by：Alex Turner

Composed by：Alex Turner/Arctic Monkeys

I saw a battleship from the out of the town

I 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 up for a closer look

And kissed who ever 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 shortcuts to myself

I thought I saw you in the parrots 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

You see

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 shortcuts 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 walks when I knew 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
