about

From our first recording session, at London's Tin Pan Alley. The lush West Coast harmonies, sparkling Rickenbacker seascapes and globetrotting lyrics aren't bad considering the tune was originally written in a train lay-by by a power station in Selby, Yorkshire.

lyrics

LYRICS
If we turn the other way, we will never see another day
Then we'll never know the places we could go
The streets that we have walked, from San Francisco to New York
On the banks of the River Nile, you turned to me and smiled

Can't you see me looking for something new?
Can't you see me getting along with you?
Can't you see me getting to know the real you?

Can't you see me looking for something new?
Can't you see me getting packing my bags with you?
Can't you see me getting to know the real you?

I'm gonna buy a ticket today so we can get away
Let's get to Timbuktu before this life shackles you
On cable cars we fought, Karakal High to Newport
In the shipyards of Gdansk, you joined me for a dance

Can't you see me...?
