When I Want You

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.
