about

Chance encounter

lyrics

Saw you in a bar
Oh you were lovely
Oh I was lovesick
Oh man I was low.

I noticed your locket
The way it hung around your neck
Reached into my pocket
And pulled out a pen.

Wish I was a poet
Well I would write you a sonnet
Something to honour
Your beautiful eyes.

Wish I was a painter
Well I would paint you a mirror
So you could see a little clearer
The way I see you.

Now where did you go go go
Now I wish I could see you
How I wish I could see you

Passed on the street
Last of the true believers
Last of a dying breed
With olde world charm
Now it’s all gone electric
It’s all covered in static
Young girls wreak havoc
With my fragile heart.

But I just can’t
Leave it alone
Oh I wish I could touch you
What I wouldn’t give to touch you right now.

Wish I lived in London
In a tiny apartment
With some little harlot
A little like you.

We’ll she’d be my lover
And I’d be a singer
Dashing ‘round England
Stealing hearts for her.

So Baby let’s go oh oh
Now it’s so nice to meet you
Now it’s so nice to meet you
Now it’s so nice to meet you
Now it’s so nice to meet you
Now it’s so nice to meet you
Oh so nice to meet you
