| Il retro dell'album che contiene il brano |
Il titolo è stato ripreso dall'ultimo romanzo di Dickens (poteva essere altrimenti per un gruppo inglese).
Il pezzo va ascoltato prestando attenzione al basso continuo delle viole e al contrappunto dei violoncelli.
Un arrangiamento di grande classe.

Il testo del brano
No
matter how I try,
I
just can't get her out of my mind
And
I when I sleep I visualize her.
I
saw her in the pub,
I
met her later at the nightclub.
A
mutual friend introduced us
We
talked about the noise
And
how its hard to hear your own voice
Above
the beat and the sub-bass.
We
talked and talked for hours,
We
talked in the back of our friend's car
As
we all went back to his place.
On
our friend's settee,
she
told me that she really liked me
And
I said: "Cool, the feeling's mutual."
We
played old 45s
And
said it's like the soundtrack to our lives
And
she said: "True, it's not unusual."
Then
privately we danced
We
couldn't seem to keep our balance
A
drunken haze had come upon us.
We
sank down to the floor
And
we sang a song that I can't sing anymore
And
then we kissed and fell unconscious.
I
woke up the next day
All
alone but for a headache.
I
stumbled out to find the bathroom
But
all I found was her
Wrapped
around another lover.
No longer then is he our mutual friend.
