No No I think I quite like it!
My favourite "pick up" lines are in a song by Henry Clay Work "Touch the Sleeping Strings" 1876 The singer comes upon a harpist who is idle at her instrument and proceeds to try to pick her up. The ends of the verses have the lines:
.... and something makes me think I knew you
Beyond the sea of long ago.
....Did not we walk some shore together etc.
....Did not we sing this song together etc.
....Were not our spirits linked together etc.
Lovely!
