Trying hard to speak and
Fighting with my weak hand
Driven to distraction
So part of the plan
When something is broken
And you try to fix it
Trying to repair it
Any way you can

I'm diving off the deep end
You become my best friend
I wanna love you
But I don't know if I can
I know something is broken
And I'm trying to fix it
Trying to repair it
Any way I can

You and me are floating on a tidal wave
Together You and me are drifting into outer space
And singing

You and me are floating on a tidal wave
Together You and me are drifting into outer space

You and me are floating on a tidal wave
Together You and me are drifting into outer space
And singing

Stephanie says that she wants to know
Why she's given half her life, to people she hates now
Stephanie says when answering the phone
What country shall I say is calling from across the world

But she's not afraid to die, the people all call her Alaska
Between worlds so the people ask her 'cause it's all in her mind

It's all in her mind Stephanie says that she wants to know
Why it is though she's the door, she can't be the room
Stephanie says but doesn't hang up the phone
What sea shell she is calling from across the world

But she's not afraid to die, the people all cal her Alaska
Between worlds so the people ask her 'cause it's all in her mind
It's all in her mind

She asks you is it good or bad
It's such an icy feeling it's so cold in Alaska,
it's so cold in Alaska, it's so cold in Alaska

Just because I don't say anything,
doesn't mean I don't like you
I open my mouth and I try and i try
but no words came out

Without 40 oz. of social skills
I'm just an ass in the crack of humanity
I'm just a huge manitee
A huge manitee

And besides you're probably holding hands
with some skinny, pretty girl that likes to
talk about bands and
all I wana do is ride bikes with you
and stay up late and watch cartoons

Duck Tales, shirt tails, Talespin, Sailor Moon, GI Joe, Robotech, Ron Jeremy, Schmoo

I wanna watch cartons with you.
Josie and the Pussycats and Scooby Do,
I want you to watch cartoons with me
He-man, Voltron and Hong-Kong-Fui

I tried to ask you to your face
but no words came out
I put on my hood and walked away,
that doosn't mean I don't like you

And besides your probably holding hands
with some skinny, pretty girl that likes to
talk about bands and
all I wanna do is ride bikes with you
and stay up late and maybe spoon

Just becase I dont say anything
doesn't mean I dont like you

No... I opened my mouth and I tried and I tried

And besides you're probably holding hands
with some skiny, pretty girl that likes to
talk about bands and
all I wanna do is ride bikes with you
and stay up late and watch cartoons

I'm just your average Thundercats ho (?)

"Get me away from here, I'm dying"

Artist: Belle & Sebastian
Album: If You're Feeling Sinister, 1996

image3

Ooh! Get me away from here I'm dying
Play me a song to set me free
Nobody writes them like they used to
So it may as well be me
Here on my own now after hours
Here on my own now on a bus
Think of it this way
You could either be successful or be us
With our winning smiles, and us
With our catchy tunes, and us
Now we're photogenic
You know, we don't stand a chance

Oh, I'll settle down with some old story
About a boy who's just like me
Thought there was love in everything and everyone
You're so naive!
They always reach a sorry end
They always get it in the end
Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then
With a winning smile, the boy
With naivety succeeds
At the final moment, I cried
I always cry at endings

Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all
From where I'm sitting, rain
Falling against the lonely tenement
Has set my mind to wander
Into the windows of my lovers
They never know unless I write
"This is no declaration, I just thought I'd let you know goodbye"
Said the hero in the story
"It is mightier than swords
I could kill you sure
But I could only make you cry with these words"
