Belle And Sebastian - Stay Loose Lyrics
I was choking on a cornflakeYou said Have some toast insteadI was sleeping maybe three hoursYou said You should get to bedI was waiting at the church doorFor the minister to showI was looking at the new yearYou said Walk before you crawlI was feeling like a loserYou said Hey, youve still got meI was feeling pretty lonelyYou said You wanted to be freeI was looking for a good timeYou said Let the good times startWith a quiver of your eyelidYou took on someone elses partMaybe Im a little greedyYou said Think before you speakSometimes Im a little seedyYou said Everyone is weakNow I feel a little betterIs there something I can do?But I never heard the answerI never had a clueBut what about meI dont really seeHow things will improveIf all you want is to stay looseTheres a little echo callingLike a miner trapped insideIf I tell her of this momentShe will in me doubts confideAnd shes on me like a blanketLike a stalk of wilting grassIm not sure about her motivesIm not sure about her pastBut my faith is like a bulletMy belief is like a boltThe only thing that lets me sleep at nightA little carriage of the soulIf it starts a little bleakerThen the year may yet be goldHappiness is not for keepingHappiness is not my goalBut what about meI dont really seeHow things will improveIf all you want is to stay looseBut what about themYou play mother henTo a gaggle of gangling youthAll you want is to stay looseI was living through the secondsMy composure was a messI was miles from tendernessIt was dark outside, the day it was lying in piecesEverything is flat and drearyI couldnt care whats in the newsTelevision is the bluesTelevision is hysterical laughter of peopleAnd I know it could be meIm always asking for moreI keep running round in circlesI keep looking for a doorwayIm going to need two livesTo follow the paths Ive been taking
