  • I wrote your name upon the back of my hands
    Slept upon it and I woke up with it
    Backwards on my face
    Reading forwards to my mirror
    To my heart

    Twilight omens in my life
    Then I hear your name
    Hear the way you sing your name, baby
    Should I give you a call
    And I say,
    Baby, you still feel the same

    I typed your number into my calculator
    Where it's spelled as your word
    When you turn it upside down
    You can turn my dirty world
    The bright way round

    Twilight omens in my life
    Then I hear your name
    Hear the way you sing your name
    Should give you a call
    And I say,
    Oh, maybe I still feel the same
    Twilight omens in my life
    Keep hearing your name
    Keep hearing your name
    Keep hearing your name
    Keep hearing you sing your name Writer/s: Alexander Paul Kapranos Huntley, Nicholas John McCarthy, Paul Robert Thompson, Robert Hardy
