BELLE & SEBASTIAN - Put The Book Back On The Shelf lyrics

rate me

Sebastian you're in a mess<br>You had a dream, they called you king<br>Of all the hipsters, is it true? <br>Or are you still the queen? <br><br>Like getting blood out of a stone<br>The city left you all alone<br>You came to dance, but there's no poignancy<br>When they all leave you standing alone<br><br>The wider issues of the day<br>Don't interest you, you'll have to pay<br>For looking at the floor<br>When people talk to you<br><br>You wrote a book about yourself<br>The people left it on the shelf<br>You'll write another one<br>Now you've got a story that's worth talking about<br><br>Are you happy with yourself? <br>Are you talking to yourself? <br>Are you happy with yourself? <br>Put the book back on the shelf<br><br>I know the company you keep<br>You're on the sofa hidden deep<br>While on the telly sid james speaks<br>To you like god<br><br>You're always looking for a sign<br>But boy you blow it every time<br>You hear a voice begin to speak<br>You ignore it and go softly to sleep
