Arctic Monkeys - Cornerstone - Humbug

Arctci monkeys track 7 cornerstone lyrics

I thought I saw you in the battleship
but it was only a lookalike
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 who ever was sitting there

She was close, and she held me very tightly
Until 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
And 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"

[ShinMike]

i like the album, doesnt have a lot of cachy songs like the first or second album, but some song are truly genius like crying lighting and cornerstone

[littlelydable]

Can't help but think this song would be 7% worse if it didn't have the word elongated in it.

[wintercuddling]

It makes me sad to think about someone being so in love they ask some random other to call her her name.

[Xydan7]

Matureness by far has really increased.....

Love them<3

[cityofsoapsuds]

'if i cant bang u can i bang ur sister”

[LazarSavkovic]

@Tgshark damn you were right about the harmonizing part, well done!

[nirconn]

This song gets so much better after 1:20 !Can't wait for the next one!

[BaconSquishy]

@darkmidnight66 Respect is to be earned, tolerance is a more realistic goal

[pocketcupsaregreat]

mmm i still love this

[EoghanKeegan]

This album is alot more mature and thoughtful that WPSIATWIN and FWN. Another FWN would have been boring, this album was a welcome change.

@ererye it's genious.
