Belle & Sebastian - Mary Jo Lyrics
Mary jo, sitting aloneDrinking tea, she just got homeShe wants, I dont know what you wantMary jo, living aloneDrinking gin with the telly onShe wantsThe night to follow day and back againShe doesnt want to sleepWell who could blame her if she wants?The night to follow day and back againShe doesnt want to sleepWell who could blame her, if she sleeps?Well who could blame her, if she sleeps?Well who could blame her, if shes sleeping?Mary jo, back with yourselfFor company, keep telling yourself youre youngItll happen soonMary jo, no one can seeWhat youve been throughNow youve got love to burnIts someone elses turn to go through hellNow you can see them come from twenty yardsYeah you can tellIts someone elses turn to take a fallAnd now you are the one whos strong enough to help themThe one whos strong enough to help themThe one whos strong enough to help them allMary jo, youre looking thinYoure reading a book, the state I am inBut oh, it doesnt help at allWhat you want is a cigaretteAnd a thespian with a caravanette in hullBecause life is never dull in your dreamsA pity that it never seems to work the way you see itLife is never dull in your dreamsA sorry tale of action and the men you left forWomen, and the men you left forIntrigue, and the men you left for dead
