BELLE & SEBASTIAN - A Century Of Fakers lyrics

rate me

There are people going hungry every day<br>They've got nothing on their plates<br>And you're filling your fat face with every different kind of cake<br>And if you ever go lardy, or go lame<br>I will drop you straight away<br>That's the price you have to pay<br>For every stupid thing you say<br><br>There are people going lonely, and they'll stay<br>Lonely fay into the year<br>Because you're making blinkers fashionable<br>And fashionably you'll say<br>All is equal in love and war and<br>I'm sorry, but I've got some things to do<br>And you pretend to read a book you'll never finish till the day<br><br>That the author dedicates it<br>To a century of fakers<br>They took your mould and they burned it on the fire in history today<br>Yeah, the author dedicates it<br>To a century of fakers<br>He was an anarchist, he tried his best but it wasn't good enough<br><br>Did I say I would see you soon? <br>Well I'm sorry, but I just came off my bike<br>And my face is scarred<br>And chance has barred me seeing you tonight<br>I was over the other side of the city<br>And if the truth be known I'd say<br>That you look great from there before you shaved your golden hair today<br><br>Everybody's trying to make us<br>Another century of fakers<br>They took you mould and burned it on the fire of history today<br>Everybody's trying to make us<br>Another cool decade of fakers<br>Another century of fakers
