When I Knew

I could see the tops of her white socks
 Just beneath the desk
 Her pants didn't reach all the way down her legs
 And you know what happened next
 I said hi politely and we went to time for coffee
 Yeah yeah yeah that was when I knew
 That was when I knew I was wrong wrong wrong all along
 That was when I knew, yeah
 That was when I knew
 They said we both write weird music
 And she played me Soft Machine
 And lent me a record that badly warped which screwed up everything
 I was broke, just fifteen
 I scoured London for a replacement
 I found it cheap in an Oxford Street basement
 Yeah yeah yeah that was when I knew
 That was when I knew I was wrong wrong wrong wrong
 That was when I knew, yeah
 That was when I knew
 ♪
 I met her in my bedroom
 Oh at a party, Halloween
 And she was wearing a pair of overalls
 So I sang "Come On Eileen"
 I was being slightly mean
 And that just made her smile
 Which made me feel childish
 Yeah yeah yeah that was when I knew
 That was when I knew I was wrong wrong wrong
 That was when I knew, yeah
 That was when I knew
 We played a song for scratch that night
 And when she done up singing
 She just took off, stage left
 And left us there winging it
 The band went down swinging
 As she made her exit, arms in the air
 I caught her eye, I was unprepared
 When I couldn't get her out of my head
 So I got her out of hers instead
 No I couldn't get her out of my head
 So I got her out of hers instead
 I know I couldn't get her out of my head
 And then we ended up in...
 ♪
 She glided by on antique roller skates
 And overtook our car
 Just down the street
 Up from where we parked
 Just south of Market
 In the Castro sun she seemed to glisten
 And when she spoke I listened
 Yeah yeah yeah that was when I knew
 That was when I knew I was wrong wrong wrong
 That was when I knew, yeah
 That was when I knew
