Belle And Sebastian - Me & The Major Lyrics
Me and the major could become close friends cause we Get on the same train and he wants to talk to me Me and the major could become close friends cause we Get on the same train and he wants to talk But there is too much history, too much biography between us Me and the major don't see eye to eye on a Number of things, he'll take a guy like me and then Me and the major don't see eye to eye on a Number of things, he'll take a guy like me And put him in the army Cause the queen's own army makes a man of you But he doesn't understand and he doesn't try He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and i We're the younger generation, we grew up fast All the others did drugs They're taking it out on us They're taking it out on us Me and the major are from different worlds, but if I get stuck in the lift it's always with a toff Me and the major are from different worlds, but if I get stuck in the lift it's always with a man Of noble standing who looks down on me like i was never born I think the major's going quite insane, he goes Along the pavement and comes back again, oh yeah I think the major's going quite insane, he goes Along the pavement and comes back again Like he is on parade, and he is on parade At least he thinks so Now he is swapping his tent for a sheltered home He doesn't have a family, he is living alone He remembers all the punks and the hippies too And he remembers roxy music in seventy-two He doesn't understand and he doesn't try He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and i We're the younger generation, we grew up fast All the others did drugs They're taking it out on us They're taking it out on us They're taking it out on us I want a dance, i want a drink of whisky so i Forget the major and go up the town Because the snow is falling
