Guitar Learning Journey: "Girl on the Bus" vocals cover

This song composed by John Rostill and recorded by Cliff Richards and The Shadows is a song with a funny twist. Its mellow tempo and its seemingly romantic lyrics disguise it all.

The “girl on the bus” is actually a picture from the B.O.A.C (British Overseas Airways Corporation) advertisement, attaching on the bus.

Moreover, this explains why the singer knows the exact time when he will meet the “girl” every day. Buses have a fixed schedule, right?

“Each day when she passes at ten twenty-three
Her eyes find my window
She's smiling at me
I run to the stairs
But too late she is gone
She'll back tomorrow at a quarter past one”

Yes, this is a song about a dude who is romantically attracted to a picture
