Cool Like You
Picture this
I was browsing in a Camden Records store
One lazy sunday
Made my picks
Brought Is This It And Queen Greatest Hits up to the till
Then I saw you standing there
The beautiful girl with auburn hair
You complimented my picks as I paid with my card
No plastic bag please, we've gotta save the Earth
If that doesn't impress her, then I'm bang out of luck
There's nothing girls like more than sensible guys
Who love to recycle each bag that they buy
A vision of heaven in blue skinny jeans
You won't waste your time with someone like me
You'll laugh at my jokes and talk about The Strokes
Then say, "have a lovely day", and smile as I walk away
A Doolittle t-shirt two sizes too big
With John Lennon glasses, you're the girl of my dreams
You'll laugh at my jokes and talk about The Strokes
Then say, "have a lovely day", and smile as I walk away
Every day for the last three weeks
I've swung by the store, hoping to see you
All the while wishing I was cool, I was cool like you
But what can I do
I'll claim to like Pixies
Though they've got nothing on naughties cheese
Buy OK Computer and Elliot Smith
Get rid of my copy of NOW 76
Never listened to Belle and Sebastian
And probably never will
But for you, I'll pretend they're the best
I'll love Stone Roses, The Cure, and the rest
A vision of heaven in blue skinny jeans
You won't waste your time with someone like me
You'll laugh at my jokes and talk about The Strokes
Then say, "have a lovely day", and smile as I walk away
A Doolittle t-shirt two sizes too big
With John Lennon glasses, you're the girl of my dreams
You'll laugh at my jokes and talk about The Strokes
Then say, "have a lovely day", and smile as I walk away
Oh, what can I do to be cool like you
Oh, what can I do to be cool like you
Oh, what can I do to be cool like you
Oh, what can I do to be cool like you
Oh, what can I do to be cool like you
Oh, what can I do to be cool like you
Finally I saw her, back behind the till
My mouth it went dry, and my heart it stood still
Walked right up to her, and she smiled at me
And I said, "have a lovely day"
Then turned round and walked away
A vision of heaven in blue skinny jeans
You won't waste your time with someone like me
You'll laugh at my jokes and talk about The Strokes
Then say, "have a lovely day", and smile as I walk away
A Doolittle t-shirt two sizes too big
With John Lennon glasses, you're the girl of my dreams
You'll laugh at my jokes and talk about The Strokes
Then say, "have a lovely day", and smile as I walk away
Oh, what can I do to be cool like you
Oh, what can I do to be cool like you
Oh, what can I do to be cool like you
