I wish you would have smiled in the bakery
or sat on a tatty seatee
at a mutual friends gathering


and the more you keep on looking
the more it's hard to take

love we're in stalemate
to never meet is surely where we're bound
there's one in every town

just there to grind you down

I wish I would have seen you in the post office

well maybe I did and I missed it
too busy with the mind on clever lines




why not the rounders pitch or the canteen

you're slacking love were have you been
just have to go and wait until tonight


to give me the invite
don't worry it's alright


I wish I would have seen you down in the arcade
sippin' on a lemonade
in the paper cup and chewin on a straw


and I wish I would have seen you in the bakery
but if I'd seen you in the bakery

you probably wouldn't have seen me
