Art Brut - Emily Kane lyrics

I was your boyfriend when we were 15

It's the happiest that I've ever been

Even though we didn't understand

How to do much more than just hold hands

There's so much about you I miss

The clumsy way we used to kiss

I wish I convinced you, you've made a mistake

If memory serves, we're still on a break

Other girls went and other girls came

I can't get over my old flame

I'm still in love with Emily Kane

Every girl that I've seen since

Looks just like you when I squint

I know you said it's for the best

I still don't understand why you left

So much about you I miss

Everytime I see a couple kiss

I hope this song finds you fame

I want schoolkids on buses singing your name

Other girls went and other girls came

I can't get over my old flame

I'm still in love with Emily Kane

I don't even know where she lives

I've not seen her in 10 years...

9 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 6 hours, 13 minutes, 5 seconds

Other girls went and other girls came

I can't get over my old flame

All my friends think I'm insane

I'm still in love with Emily Kane

There's a beast in my soul that can't be tamed

I'm still in love with Emily Kane

I thought I'd never love again

I'm still in love with Emily Kane

The torch that I hold, is always a-flame

I'm still in love with Emily Kane

I hope this song finds you fame

I want schoolkids on buses singing your name

All my friends think I'm insane

I'm still in love with Emily Kane

Emily Kane, Emily Kane, Emily Kane!
