about

I wrote the first draft of this song in 2006 about a time earlier in my life when I did spend an afternoon on Primrose Hill. As to the rest of the story regarding the girl with the groceries... they *might* be highly embellished.

lyrics

I followed her home, down Primrose Hill.
Stayed back a dozen meters else my shadow would tell.
Out with her keys, undo the locks.
Inside with her groceries that she'd bought at the shops
and I stared at her through the window unpacking
the tins of mincemeat, oranges, and wine.

Out of the 'zoo, oh what will I do
asking what I had been doing outside her house at two?
The afternoon was getting away.
I'd stood with sweaty tourists on a very hot day
on Primrose Hill looking all around me
and then it was her in a short skirt and blonde hair singing a song.

On Primrose Hill and then it was her in a short skirt and blonde hair swaying along.

Then I got scared that she would see
and I didn't feel like staying to explain my story.
So I walked off down Adelaide Road. There was Chalk Farm Station.
I took The Tube home and sat alone thinking if I'd offered to help her
I might be there now, holding her close!

Primrose Hill!
