Soho Lyrics
New York City
A subway station
A million people and you were sticking out
Smashed thumb and so pretty
I wonder what you're all about
Crowded train
The separation
But still I see you in the corner of my eye
Busy station
Anticipation, for you to turn around and see me smile
And you look so trendy
Spaghetti straps and six inch soles
You just looked down and didn't see me
Are you an uptight, turned around, no esteem wreck like me?
So long, Soho
I just sat and watched you go
Take good care and always know
I'll always know that you are there, somewhere
Dark hair
A fair complexion
I memorize your face and eyes
The doors open and I don't see you
And through the window you turn and smile
And you look so trendy
Spaghetti straps and six inch sole
You just looked down and didn't see me
Are you an uptight, turned around, no esteem wreck like me?
So long, Soho
I just sat and watched you go
Take good care and always know
I'll always know that you are there, somewhere
So long, Soho
For the rest of the day
I won't remember anything
I just watched you next to me
For seven weeks you're in my dreams
I know your face but not your name
I hope some day you hear this song
And one day I see you sing along
So long, Soho
I just sat and watched you go
Take good care and always know
I'll always know that you are there
A subway station
A million people and you were sticking out
Smashed thumb and so pretty
I wonder what you're all about
The separation
But still I see you in the corner of my eye
Busy station
Anticipation, for you to turn around and see me smile
Spaghetti straps and six inch soles
You just looked down and didn't see me
Are you an uptight, turned around, no esteem wreck like me?
I just sat and watched you go
Take good care and always know
I'll always know that you are there, somewhere
A fair complexion
I memorize your face and eyes
The doors open and I don't see you
And through the window you turn and smile
Spaghetti straps and six inch sole
You just looked down and didn't see me
Are you an uptight, turned around, no esteem wreck like me?
I just sat and watched you go
Take good care and always know
I'll always know that you are there, somewhere
For the rest of the day
I won't remember anything
I just watched you next to me
For seven weeks you're in my dreams
I know your face but not your name
I hope some day you hear this song
And one day I see you sing along
I just sat and watched you go
Take good care and always know
I'll always know that you are there

Haha, why no comments?! One of my favourites for sure... my take on it is that it's about 'love at first sight', and he's saying that just from that short time he was watching her, he knows he won't forget her.
One of my fave BFS songs!
I agree with the above comment. He's spotted someone and fell for her instantly.
I had an experience very similar to this many years ago, except it was a bus station, in a crappy little town in the UK. So not exactly a NYC Subway haha.
