1. 개요
2009년 11월 16일 발매된 악틱 몽키즈의 싱글.따뜻한 멜로디와는 달리 가사는 전여친을 잊지 못한 나머지, 만나는 여자마다 전여친의 이름으로 불러도 되냐고 묻다 까이는 내용. 마지막엔 전여친의 자매를 만나 겨우 허락받는 막장스러운 스토리이다.. 그럼에도 서정적인 멜로디 덕에 3집 앨범 수록곡 중 가장 대중적으로 인기를 얻은 곡이며, 매 공연 래퍼토리에서 빠지지 않는 대표곡 중 하나로 자리매김했다.
가사에 나오는 Battleship, Rusty Hook, Parrot's Beak, Cornerstone은 알렉스 터너의 고향인 셰필드에 있는 펍 이름을 조금 바꿔서 썼다.
2. 뮤직 비디오
바로 전에 나온 싱글 Crying Lightning의 뮤직비디오가 폭풍우가 치는 바다에서 작은 배를 타며 음악을 연주하는 화려한 구성이라 예산이 다 떨어졌다는 농담도 나온다.
3. 가사
Cornerstone I thought I saw you in the Battleship But it was only a look alike She was nothing but a vision trick Under the warning light She was close Close enough to be your ghost But my chances turned to toast When I asked her if I could call her your name I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook Huddled up in wicker chair I wandered up for a closer look And kissed whoever was sitting there She was close And she held me very tightly 'Til I asked awfully politely "Please, can I call you her name?" And I elongated my lift home Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round I smelt your scent on the seatbelt And kept my shortcuts to myself I thought I saw you in the Parrot's Beak Messin' with the smoke alarm It was too loud for me to hear her speak And she had a broken arm It was close So close that the walls were wet And she wrote it out in Letraset "No, you can't call me her name" Tell me, where's your hiding place? I'm worried I'll forget your face And I've asked everyone I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along I elongated my lift home Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round I smelt your scent on the seatbelt And kept my shortcuts to myself I saw your sister in the Cornerstone On the phone to the middle man When I saw that she was on her own I thought she might understand That she was close Well, you couldn't get much closer She said, "I'm really not supposed to, but yes You can call me anything you want" |
