lyrics
You like the books that I've read and talking about what they meant
You wear the colours I like, in the fabrics and fashions all twirling in the night
Should I like you now?
Given half a chance, I'd watch you dance
You like that band I know, mate's the guitarist, got tickets to the show
See you there, the one that stares
You've heard of that director before, liked his last work, can't wait for more
Yeah, we must be a match
But it don't work like that
Yeah, I think we met long ago, I'm trying to remember, tell me more
Yeah, it's all coming back, you can call me Jack
You wear the colours I like, in the fabrics and fashions all twirling in the night
Should I like you now?
Given half a chance, I'd watch you dance
You like that band I know, mate's the guitarist, got tickets to the show
See you there, the one that stares
You've heard of that director before, liked his last work, can't wait for more
Yeah, we must be a match
But it don't work like that
Yeah, I think we met long ago, I'm trying to remember, tell me more
Yeah, it's all coming back, you can call me Jack
