lyrics

The Greatest Unknown Cameo Of All'

I never did see ya
I never did get your name
But all of your features
And what you wore out that day
Are standing behind me
Beside the war monument in Ypres

I wanted a picture
I wanted a souvenir
A little reminder of what i was missing here
When you were behind me
Beside the war moument in Ypres

We are all extras hung up on a strangers wall
No action, no cut, dress rehearsal or curtain call
But which one of those is the greatest unknown cameo of all

Am i on your desk top
An office in Liverpool
Am i on your laptop
Converted to digital
Just off of the cross-hair
An blissfully unaware of it

We have all stolen a scene in a tourist film
Married with sights in a series of colour stills
Soon to be thrilled by the greatest unknown cameo of all
