It starts in the theatre
A night of encounters
If I hadn't been there
If not for a cigarette

And you could see it change
Look past the blinding light
Look past the blinding light
Just keep taking now
Tell me your favourite things
Tell me your favourite things

Difference in opinion was never an issue
Collect all your questions
Because this time we've all night

And you could see it change
Look past the blinding light
Look past the blinding light
Just keep talking now
Tell me your favourite things
Tell me your favourite things

    General Comment:I don't know if it's just me or what he's really saying is:

    And you could see it change
    Look past the blinding light
    we've past the bonding line
    Just keep taking on
    Tell me your favourite things

    I guess I just like it better that way... Sounds way more romantic (:

    General Comment:It's when the lead singer (Alex Trimble) met his girl friend at a theatre. Since Alex is an avid smoker he went out for a smoke and met this lovely girl and they started talking and things went on from there, although they are no longer together... they broke up last year... this song was written when he met her.

    General Comment:I love how he fastens when he says: Look past the blinding lights :) It sounds so funny. This whole song's got a joyful up-tempo :) ... and I'm going to see them live. HA! :D


    I think it's perhaps about this guy that meets a girl and wants to get to know her.
