about

An outtake from 2008's 'Me & Billy The Kid' album, this song has leant it's melody to better songs since....but I remain rather fond of the lyrical idea so it gets a last nod.

lyrics

If I hadn't have lost my wallet
I'd have never have got Kev's note
That said to meet him in the pool room
At The Ox on Stocksley Road.
If I hadn't have changed my jacket,
I'd have never have lost my keys
And I'd have caught the last train into town
And not the bus outside The Bees.
You'd never seen rain like it,
I could hardly see the shops,
Through the water on the window
And that's why I missed my stop.

If I hadn't have thought of Shorty
As I trudged back up the street,
I'd have never have played that game
Avoiding cracks beneath my feet.
If I hadn't have changed my jacket,
I'd have never have been wet through,
But huddled staring at the floor
I walked right into you.

Now Kev and them still talk about
The night United went above
Arsenal with that 0-0 draw
But me, I fell in love.

I don't believe in Star Signs
Or that Da Vinci Code
But who'd have thought that fate would wait
Outside The Ox on Stocksley Road.
