I'm still in love with Emily Kane

This is a song that I heard about a little while back but didn't actually give it a listen until recently. The song is "Emily Kane" by German/English band Art Brut. The song has a very late 80's punk feel. What gets me going about this song is the lyrics. They aren't especially detailed, or even beautiful, its not the way they are sung, its the content. The story just makes me smile for some reason. "Every girl that I've seen since/Looks just like you when I squint/I know you said it's for the best/I still don't understand why you left/So much about you I miss/Everytime I see a couple kiss/I hope this song finds you fame/I want school kids on buses singing your name" That verse just kills me. The song just perfectly captures the feeling of being 15 and in love. The rhythms rocking and the song holds you just right, love it. Emily Kane actually attended one of their shows after hearing the song-Eddie Argos, the lead singer was extremely embarrassed when he met her back stage-saying he never would have played it if he knew she was going to be there.
