When I saw you in Verona
You sat down, I moved over
Pretty people but all I saw was you
And yes it's you i'm rating
Forget the boy your dating
in my opinion he isn't right for you.
And if everything goes as planned
I'd be proud to be your man.
I promise to treat you well
Heads over heels in love I fell
She likes listening to punk rock
Melancholic in the black frock
And she smiles when she sees me
intoxicated by her company
Splendid lady, lazy Sunday afternoon
Good fortune at the bar
Verona, Verona
When I saw you in Verona
You sat down I moved over
Pretty people but all I saw was you
And I remember feeling tongue tied
As I tried to say goodbye
I was ready to fall in love with you
Now that everything's gone to plan
I am proud to be your man,
your beauty lights up my world
This is how I met my girl
She likes listening to punk rock
Melancholic in the black frock
And she smiles when she sees me
intoxicated by her company
Splendid lady, lazy Sunday afternoon
Good fortune at the bar
Verona, Verona
Verona Verona x4
She likes listening to punk rock
Melancholic in the black frock
And she smiles when she sees me
intoxicated by her company
Splendid lady, lazy Sunday afternoon
Good fortune at the bar

i love this song. it seems fairly straight foward though. boy meets girl by sheer coincidence of her sitting next to him. and from that on he was utterly mesmerized by her. all of this happens at some kind of bar or club or party or something (melancholic in the black frock. good fortune at the bar). possible romeo and juliet reference of the location (verona)... that could be the influence but i dont now. also, first verse needs to be changed. according to the lyric book in the cd it is When I saw you in Verona You sat down, I moved over not and. all in all, truely awesome song. love it
Verona is a bar in Auckland - the city that the band members are from.
