Looking for Linda

I was not looking for Linda
Linda found me
Hiding away
On the slow train home
"Is this one for Paisley?
Oh, you've got to help me"
She used to work there a
long time ago

She'd spent 35 pounds
on one packet of ciggies
Running an errand for
Him indoors
Then she kept running
straight down to Leeds Central
Took Intercity
and left her remorse
I'm looking out for Linda

Never stop looking
Never stop looking for Linda
(Looking out for Linda!)
Never stop looking
Never stop looking for Linda
(Looking out for Linda!)

I was looking at Linda
And Linda was pleased
She'd been fighting firewater all that day
She said, "Me and drinking means only one thing"
Whispered that she was too polite to say
The train door was jammed
but the time wasn't right
Some guy was holding her back from the window

I said, "A fine man!" She said, "So arrogant"
"I will decide when I go or I don't go"
I'm looking out for Linda in the rain

Never stop looking
Never stop looking for Linda
(Looking out for Linda!)
Never stop looking
Never stop looking for Linda
(Looking out for Linda!)

I was kissing with Linda
as Paisley came closer
She's wiser than alcohol, master of men
Such a connection
Is finer than true things
I'll always be looking for Linda again

I'm looking out for Linda in the rain
I'm looking out for Linda

Never stop looking, never stop looking for Linda
Never stop looking, never stop looking for Linda
