This first appeared as the B-side to 'Love Comes Quickly'.

Production and Recording[]

Some of the lyrics from this were from the first sing Neil and Chris wrote together, which also featured the lines, "'Although I'm a boy / I don't mind what's on your mind at all / and you won't find me there...' This was also recorded with Bobby Orlando but never used.

There are unconfirmed reports that a Shep Pettibone remix of this exists.

Lyrics[]

Neil:

It's about jealousy, a corny pop lyric about how your lover is out there somewhere, trying to pick someone else up.

I went looking for someone I couldn't find
staring at faces by the Serpentine
Walking slowly I realised
you'd been and gone, I know you lied

That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression

The wind was chilly and the sky was dull
I went for shelter to the temple
Once inside I couldn't believe my eyes
You'd been and gone, I know you lied

That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression

Go to a club, you think I'll be there
I don't go 'cause I'm not a member
You said you went to apologise
It's plain to me that's one more lie

That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression

I went looking for someone I couldn't find
staring at faces by the Serpentine
Walking slowly, I realised
you'd been and gone, I know you lied

That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression

It's an expression
and a suggestion
I learned my lesson
That's my impression
