lyrics

Back to the days when I studied for pay
and got out of my face, nine to five.
Fairly regularly,
I could be seen on St. Machar Drive.
There was a girl, Queen of my class,
I found myself asking her
“Where do you live?”
She told me
‘The room with the Catholic perfume
of Guilt, Wood and Candles”

And the days were long,
Nights full of loving
And the lights shone hazy-pale across St. Machar Drive.
Walking home late,
I would stop by the gates of New Dunbar Hall
And climb over the wall.
Trying to hide from the old Porter’s eyes,
I would knock on her window
And say, “Let me in – won’t you let me in?”

Well our love blew cold with the warm air of summer
And so I had to say goodbye to St. Machar Drive
But I’ll never forget or be slave to regret,
It was the happiest I’ve been,
Though now just memories
Of a girl and a room and the strangest perfume.
I would knock on her window
and she would let me in.
