Emily Kane Lyrics

I was your boyfriend when we were 15
It's the happiest that I've ever been
Even though we didn't understand
How to do much more than just hold hands
There's so much about you I miss
The clumsy way we used to kiss
I wish I convinced you, you've made a mistake
If memory serves, we're still on a break
Other girls went and other girls came
I can't get over my old flame
I'm still in love with Emily Kane

Every girl that I've seen since
Looks just like you when I squint
I know you said it's for the best
I still don't understand why you left
So much about you I miss
Everytime I see a couple kiss
I hope this song finds you fame
I want schoolkids on buses singing your name

Other girls went and other girls came
I can't get over my old flame
I'm still in love with Emily Kane

I don't even know where she lives
I've not seen her in 10 years...
9 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 6 hours, 13 minutes, 5 seconds

Other girls went and other girls came
I can't get over my old flame
All my friends think I'm insane
I'm still in love with Emily Kane

There's a beast in my soul that can't be tamed
I'm still in love with Emily Kane
I thought I'd never love again
I'm still in love with Emily Kane

The torch that I hold, is always a-flame
I'm still in love with Emily Kane
I hope this song finds you fame
I want schoolkids on buses singing your name

All my friends think I'm insane
I'm still in love with Emily Kane
Emily Kane, Emily Kane, Emily Kane!

Cover art for Emily Kane lyrics by Art Brut

I can tell the exact moment I fell in love with Art Brut... I was listening to this song for the first time (I was already familiar with Formed a Band and Direct Hit)... And the lyrics in the verses are nice but nothing special... and then comes the C-part: "I don't even know where she lives I haven't seen her in ten years" (once again, quite obvious lyrics) {pause} "Nine months, three weeks... " This is where this song got amazing, I suddenly had a big smile, and suddenly I understood what this band was all about!

(By the way, Morrissey also does this exact counting in the Smiths' Had No One Ever, but differently of course...)
