Cornerstone

About Cornerstone

Alex Turner told Uncut Magazine that he wrote this breezy love song about meeting girls in pubs who remind him of the one he’s trying to forget, “one morning, quite quickly.” (Source Cornerstone Songfacts). Thought I saw you in the battleship but it was only a look a like She was nothing but a vision trick Under the warning light She was close, close enough to be your ghost But my chances turned to toast When i asked her if i could call her your name .
