[@ElliotWood21]

Hustarn every pub name he mentions has something to do with pirates, who looked for lost treasure, reflecting who he singing about. Genius songwriter.

LYRICS I thought I saw you in the battleship But it was only a look a like 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 who ever 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 seat belt And kept my shortcuts to myself I thought I saw you in the parrots beak Messing 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 seat belt 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 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 Songwriters: Alex Turner Cornerstone lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC

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"

What happended to Alex? This whas his best time, in my opinion

[@sebtbhc]

His present is always his best time. Such an amazing and versatile artist, able to explore new sounds, new styles, new lyrics, always brilliant though. But I respect your opinion, Humbug Alex is great

[@CC-ym1di]

Couldn't agree more, I really don't get it when people say he's just aging and his music is "evolving". This was golden age man.

[@montes4456]

Te extraño mucho, realmente no creo que vayas a leer esto algún día, pero, ah es que últimamente he estado pensando mucho en ti, en nosotros, bueno en lo que éramos juntos, es difícil lidiar con tu ausencia, se que la soledad es buena hasta cierto punto, pero, la Soledad se sentía mejor contigo, aún voy a pasar la tarde en aquéllos lugares a dónde íbamos, a pasar la tarde con los recuerdos, nuestros recuerdos, tal vez deba dejar de pensar en ti, de todo corazón. Te amó Hazel.

[@Burnshot28]

i got a man crush on alex.

[@cjxked12]

He alone is better than The Beatles. Big statement but you know it's true.

[@TheHustle1]

cjxked12 No. I love his songwriting, but nothing is better than Lennon-McCartney

[@FancyTortoise]

The Hustle except Dylan, even Lennon-McCartney have said Dylan is the greatest.

[@CARLOSRAMOS-kc4nm]

I hope some day Turner gets the place he deserves. I agree, he is as great as Lennon.

Teresa Bechtel You absolutely cannot compare Alex Turner to Conor Oberst. They are two very different artists.

[@LukeMorris0]

It really disappoints me how much Alex Turner is overlooked as a songwriter. He is easily the greatest in at least the last 10 years

This is sooooo good, fav song by them. His voice was so much softer than now

[@William0000ify]

I think it's because he smokes a lot

[@raujota]

maybe

me parece que el la puede hacer así suave pero no quiere .-. quizás

[@harryhat1266]

The way he sings now is linked to the new persona and accent a deep Elvis "thank you very much" tone as opposed Alex Turner shouting "ladies' at the start of dancefloor He has grown into his baritone as well
