BELLE & SEBASTIAN - Family Tree lyrics
rate meI've been feeling down<br>I've been looking round the town<br>For somebody just like me<br>But the only ones I see<br>Are the dummies in the window<br>They spend their money on clothes<br>It saddens me to think<br>That the only ones I see are mannequins<br>Looking stupid, being used and being thin<br>And I don't know why I hang around with them<br><br>The way they act, I'd rather be fat than be confused<br>The way they act, I'd rather be fat than be confused<br>Than be me in a cage<br>With a bottle of rage<br>And a family like the mafia<br><br>I've been feeling blue<br>And I don't know what to do<br>And I never get a thrill<br>And they threw me out of school<br>'cause I swore at all the teachers<br>Because they never teach us<br>A thing I want to know<br>We do chemistry, biology and maths<br>I want poetry and music and some laughs<br>And I don't think it's an awful lot to ask<br><br>So won't you please get up off your knees, and let me go<br>So won't you please get up off your knees, and let me go<br>Cause I'm here in a cage<br>With a bottle of rage<br>And a family like the mafia<br><br>If my family tree goes back to the romans<br>Then I will change my name to jones<br>If my family tree goes back to napolean<br>Then I will change my name to smith<br>If my family tree goes back to the romans<br>Then I will change my name to jones<br>If you're looking at me to be an accountant<br>Then you will look but you will never see<br>If you're looking at me to start having babies<br>Then you can wish because I'm not here to fool around<br>You can wish because I'm not here to fool around<br>You can wish because I'm not here to fool around<br>11) there is too much love ¡ <br>I could hang about and burn my fingers<br>I've been hanging out here waiting for something to start<br>You think I'm faultless to a 't'<br>My manner set impeccably<br>But underneath I am the same as you<br><br>I could dance all night like I'm a soul boy<br>But I know I'd rather drag myself across the dance floor<br>I feel like dancing on my own<br>Where no one knows me, and where i<br>Can cause offence just by the way I look<br><br>And when I come to blows<br>When I am numbering my foes<br>Just hope that you are on my side my dear<br><br>But it's best to finish as it started<br>With my face head down just staring at the brown formica<br>It's safer not to look around<br>I can't hide my feelings from you now<br>There's too much love to go around these days<br><br>You say I've got another face<br>That's not a fault of mine these days<br>I'm honest, brutal and afraid of you
