Verse 1:
                                            
You might see me in the papers or hear me on the radio, 
                                                  
And you probably imagine that i'd forgotten you long, long ago, 

                    
Well i couldn't if i tried, 
                               
though you might think i tell a lie,
                                    
well i'll hold you in my memory from now,
               
until the day i die

Chorus:
                  
Bomber jackets and young girls smiles,
              
Valentines and county trials, 
              
meetin' at the mercy gates,
               
all afternoon i couldn't wait
                                    (riff)
my thoughts were just of kissin you


Verse 2:(same chords)

Well i might be mistaken but i think we've met somewhere before
was i drunk and stoned and dancing on some salt hill disco's slippy floor
with your nose on someone's shoulder, 
slow dancin' tightly intertwined,
i wish we'd swapped our partners and continued
dancin til the end of time, 

Chorus 2:
                  
Bomber jackets and young girls smiles,
              
Valentines and county trials, 
              
meetin' at the mercy gates,
               
all afternoon i couldn't wait
                
Duffel coats and desert boots
                         
and the teachers spoke of Brian Boru,
                                   
my thoughts were just of kissin you
                                    (riff)
my thoughts were just of kissin you
