LYRICS

Last I saw of you was in the rear view
That rear view mirror of mine
Last I saw of you was in the rear view mirror
Getting so much smaller all the time

And when I think of you you’re in the rear view
That rear view mirror of mine
When I think of you you’re in the rear view mirror
Getting so much smaller all the time

Do I owe you for letting me know
Do I? I guess so
Do I owe you for letting me know
So I’m thanking you for letting me go

Do I owe you for letting me know
Do I? I guess so
Do I owe you for letting me know
So I’m thanking you for letting me go

Do I owe you for letting me know
Do I? I guess so
Do I owe you for letting me know
So I’m thanking you for letting me go

So when I think of you you’re in the rear view
That rear view mirror of mine
Oh, when I think of you you’re in the rear view mirror
Getting so much smaller all the time
Getting so much smaller all the time
Getting so much smaller all the time

Getting so much smaller, baby
So long, baby

Can't put my finger on it which song exactly but this is basically a copy of a Georgie Fame song. Or a hommage if you like. Very cool!

Very 60s sounding.  Quite a cool song.  I wish Mark would do something like this but better.  Unusual vocals for Mark.

Expresso Love, I was thinking exactly the same.

Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames - Yeh Yeh:

Also reminds me a bit of this song

Music to Watch Girls By - Andy Williams

It instantly reminded me the bonus soundtrack of the videogame Metal Gear Solid.

Yes, it is also a bonus in this one  :P

I like the 60's vibe, but I feel like this would be better sung by a woman.  Maybe Mark should have given it to Imelda May.

This songs is also very similar too Lee Morgan's 'The Sidewinder':

Had to laugh out loud when I first heard this. Just love it! Music and lyrics. And in terms of production, this track has all of what I need. Was Guy Fletcher out stand-up paddling that day?  ;)

So long!

Maybe is another little message to the DS Legacy people? Specially to Clark because of his claims about adding his own things to DS songs but not being recognised by it?
