about

Ever wondered what a track that aimed to sound like an 80s cover of a lost 60s teen tragedy song would be like? Here's one possibility.

lyrics

I used to love a girl called Gabrielle, wish I’d known her half as well
As I thought I did
She had something wild in her, recklessness beyond compare
It was more than I could bear

Oh my god, Gabrielle, I loved you then, I love you still
Wish I’d never let you go
Wish I had your guts, your will, half your drive and I still
Don’t know why I never told you so

I used to love a girl called Gabrielle, these numb nights I’d gladly sell
To get back those days
Wish that I’d known back then her toughness was self-defence
It’s too late to learn her ways

Oh my god, Gabrielle, I loved you then, I love you still
Wish I’d never let you go
Wish I had your guts, your will, half your drive and I still
Don’t know why I never told you so

Oh but now it’s far too late, the grass grows high on the King’s Highway
Oh but now it's far too late, the wheels roll on by

Oh my god, Gabrielle, I loved you then, I love you still
Wish I’d never let you go
Wish I had your guts, your will, half your drive and I still
Don’t know why I never told you so
But I can’t tell you so
