Emily

Took off our ties

Straight after school

For lager and limes

Shooting pool

Underhand cigarettes

To compilation cassettes

Now that those days are over

I wish I'd done more to know her

But I was much too caught up with myself

to bother looking back

So I didn't see that Emily was slipping through the cracks

There was a club and we would go

Cutting the rug in junk shop clothes

Yeah we looked pretty fab

falling out of a cab

Now that those days are over

I wish I'd done more to know her

I was much too caught up with myself

to bother looking back

So I didn't see that Emily was slipping through the cracks

Summer went by

she moved around

I know that she tried

to settle down

But playing telephone tag

can be a bit of a drag

Now that those days are over

I wish I'd done more to know her

But I was much too caught up with myself

to bother looking back

So I didn't see that Emily was slipping

through the cracks
