Lloyd Cole - Past Imperfect lyrics

Excuse me, could I use your pen I have mislaid my own Somewhere out here in space and time Between this place and home Maybe she lies on the subway platform Forsaken and forlorn All of this and more and that's not all I can't recall What was on my mind in Amsterdam In 1984? And what did I want from the pouring rain Was it phonographic score? And why was my head in the unmade bed With a girl who's name I lost? I can't unwrite the tune Or discount the cost I can't recall I met a bartender at 3 of Clubs Which is somewhere in LA I thought, maybe, he was a friend of mine I almost knew his face Reluctantly impressionist No star to chart my course Ships pa** in the night and take on board More than I recall Excuse me, could I use your pen I have mislaid my own Somewhere out here in all this space and time Between this place and home Maybe she lies on the check out station Forsaken and forlorn I've half a mind to find myself And half... I can't recall Precise Coordinates I can't recall Entire relationships I can't recall The colour of her eyes Or the feeling of her skin Pressing against mine I can't recall
