Arctic Monkeys — The Bakery

[Verse 1] I wish you would have smiled in the bakery Or sat on a tatty settee At a mutual friend's 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 [Verse 2] 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, where have you been? Just had to go and wait until tonight [Bridge] To give me the invite Don't worry, it's alright [Verse 3] I wish I would have seen you down in the arcade Sipping on a lemonade In the paper cup and chewing on the straw And I wish I'd seen you in the bakery But if I'd seen you in the bakery You probably wouldn't have seen me
