Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John

[Verse 1: Stuart Murdoch]
What a waste, I could have been your lover
What a waste, I could have been your friend
Perfect love is like a blossom that fades so quick
When it’s blowing up a storm in May

[Verse 2: Stuart Murdoch]
Travel south until your skin turns warmer
Travel south until your skin turns brown
Put a language in your head and get on a train
And then come back to the one you love

[Verse 3: Norah Jones]
Yeah, you’re great, you’re just part
Of this lifetime of dreaming
That extends to the heart
Of this long summer feeling

[Verse 4: Norah Jones]
Quiet night, you see the TVs glowing
Quiet night, you hear the walls are awake
Me and you are getting out of the party crowd
Can I see what’s underneath your bed?

[Verse 5: Norah Jones & Stuart Murdoch]
Can I stay until the milkman’s working?
Can I stay until the café awakes?
Do you hate me in the light? Did you get a fright
When you looked across from where you lay?

[Verse 6: Norah Jones & Stuart Murdoch]
Yeah you’re great, you’re just part
Of this lifetime of dreaming
That extends to the heart
Of this long summer feeling
All the history of boys
I invent in my head
Little Lou, Ugly Jack
Prophet John

[Refrain: Norah Jones & Stuart Murdoch]
All the history of boys
I invent in my head
Little Lou, Ugly Jack
Prophet John

[Outro: Norah Jones & Stuart Murdoch]
What a waste, I could have been your lover
What a waste, I could have been your friend
