A Slight Breeze of Fragrance Coming from an Old Familiar City.....

I can still remember when your city smelt exciting
I still get a whiff of that aroma now and then
Burglary and fireworks
The skies they were alighting 
Accidents and toffee drops
And thinking on the train

Oh, he was young
In the frost
No regard for the cost of saying his feelings in the moment they were felt

the two englishmen (miles kane and alex turner) who wrote this unbeatable piece of lyric beauty

And if he was calm like you
Locked up inside of your loops then he’d know for well
That all he had to say was 
All he had to say was goodbye

Summertime made promises it knew it couldn’t keep
The fairytale was climbing up a mountain far too steep 
Colouring the pictures with your royal hand
Now I am craving heartbreak while you’re making your demands

 
- "Calm Like You" by The Last Shadow Puppets
