[00:28.84]It must have been at least three years ago.
[00:35.77]I had a crush on this girl
[00:39.98]I didn't know.
[00:42.84]I thought it was a good idea at the time but
[00:45.81]I was pissed.
[00:47.01]I tried to find her by sending an ad into ‘The List'.
[00:52.35]It was free 'cause they'd just started this brand new section.
[00:57.71]First I passed it on to my old friend
[01:00.56]Denise for her inspection.
[01:02.53]It said: "I saw you twice and both times you were wearing orange. And she told you I fancied you in the toilets at the garage."
[01:12.08]There was never a reply, perhaps it didn't astound her.
[01:16.88]That's assuming she ever saw it but
[01:19.99]I think I've found her.
[01:21.38]I thought it could've been her in a club on
[01:24.51]Saturday night.
[01:25.58]She was a couple of tables away and
[01:28.30]I thought it might be.
[01:30.20]But I was far too drunk, so an approach was out of the question.
[01:33.65]But this guy
[01:34.56]Stuart had sent us tickets to see his band
[01:36.17]Belle & Sebastian.
[01:37.84]We went along thoroughly drunk, stopped for a post-gig "Hello".
[01:41.11]And I think the girl
[01:42.42]I was looking for is friends with the girl who plays the cello.
[01:46.39]I think she's coming to see us when we play.
[01:49.36]And every time we meet
[01:52.07]I've got nothing to say.
[01:52.43]She probably thinks
[01:53.65]I'm cute, she maybe thinks
[01:54.77]I'm gay. She's probably got a boyfriend anyway.
[02:14.16]I remember the first time that
[02:15.56]I saw her,
[02:16.32]I was completely in awe.
[02:17.78]I thought, well that's the kind of girl that
[02:19.47]I would like to be my squaw.
[02:21.58]And if I could ever be the kind of brave that she would choose.
[02:25.15]We'd travel plains with our little baby turned in its little pappoose.
[02:28.84]She starts foresighting me in a public bar, my bird was in the bog.
[02:32.27]When she returned she said that she would like to give that girl a snog.
[02:36.04]And two weeks later we split up and a new lover
[02:38.49]I was seeking.
[02:39.70]And when I see that girl again
[02:41.26]I'm just never up for speaking.
[02:43.97]I think she's coming to see us when we play.
[02:46.93]And every time we meet
[02:48.13]I've got nothing to say.
[02:49.94]She probably thinks
[02:51.89]I'm cute, she maybe thinks
[02:52.47]I'm gay. She's probably got a boyfriend anyway.
