The Bakery (Live Acoustic MPR 20070508)

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
