Leslie - King Creosote

It wasn’t a particularly sunny day nor fine

And a dozen little problems kept me more than occupied

Until I rounded the Hope Park Holy Wall

And looked ahead to find her in the way

Grinning like a misbehaving child

Could I talk of anything and what did I replied to

I think I mumbled something hunger wise

My insides eating up the butterflies that kept hunger at bay

And my nerves were playing crazy buggers with my sense of style

Throw me round and down

Before I fall

11am soon became 1am of the next day

And it seems I’ve spent some 20 years

Just gazing at her face

And in her eyes she seemed to know me

Seemed to search into my soul

Throw me round and down

Before I fall
