the lyrics to this song written on the ferry from belfast to stranraer one night in late january '03. thinking of a girl from a 'bank' holiday. music came at easter '03 in the drog when john decided that a song that lasted but a minute was the future of music. he wasn't wrong.
[lyric]
a letter from a girl far away
knew her briefly it was a bank holiday
shared together half a can of coke
then she told me that she had another bloke
she always keeps a boy in every town she goes
i hope this time she brings more than a weekend's clothes
with my heart a-broken i went to new york
i telephoned so we could talk
bought channel but it wasn't for me
underneath the duvet in front of tv
knew her briefly it was a bank holiday
shared together half a can of coke
then she told me that she had another bloke
she always keeps a boy in every town she goes
i hope this time she brings more than a weekend's clothes
with my heart a-broken i went to new york
i telephoned so we could talk
bought channel but it wasn't for me
underneath the duvet in front of tv
