BELLE & SEBASTIAN - Sleep The Clock Around lyrics

rate me

And the moment will come when composure returns<br>Put a face on the world, turn your back to the wall<br>And you walk twenty yards with your head in the air<br>Down the liberty hill, where the fashion brigade<br>Look with curious eyes on your raggedy way<br>And for once in your life you have nothing to say<br>And could this be the time when somebody will come<br>To say, look at yourself, you're not much use to anyone<br><br>Take a walk in the park, take a valium pill<br>Read the letter you got from the memory girl<br>But it takes more than this to make sense of the day<br>Yeah it takes more than milk to get rid of the taste<br>And you trusted to this, and you trusted to that<br>And when you saw it all come, it was waving the flag<br>Of the united states of calamity, hey!<br>After all that you've done boy, I'm sure you're going to pay<br><br>In the morning you come to the ladies salon<br>To get all fitted out for the paperback throne<br>But the people are living far away from the place<br>Where you wanted to help, it's a bit of a waste<br>And the puzzle will last till somebody will say<br>There's a lot to be done while your head is still young<br>If you put down your pen, leave your worries behind<br>Then the moment will come, and the memory will shine<br><br>Now the trouble is over, everybody got paid<br>Everybody is happy, they are glad that they came<br>Then you go to the place where you've finally found<br>You can look at yourself sleep the clock around
