1. 개요

2009년 11월 16일 발매된 악틱 몽키즈의 싱글.

따뜻한 멜로디와는 달리 가사는 전여친을 잊지 못해 만나는 여자마다 전여친의 이름으로 불러도 되냐고 묻다 까이는 내용. 마지막엔 전여친의 자매를 만나 겨우 허락받는다.

가사에 나오는 Battleship, Rusty Hook, Parrot's Beak, Cornerstone은 알렉스 터너의 고향인 셰필드에 있는 펍 이름을 조금 바꿔서 썼다.

2. 뮤직 비디오

뮤직비디오는 빨간 스웨터를 입은 알렉스 터너가 마이크 하나 들고 노래하는 간단한 구성.

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"
