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
