Belle & Sebastian - Put The Book Back On The Shelf Lyrics
Sebastian youre in a messYou had a dream, they called you kingOf all the hipsters, is it true?Or are you still the queen?Like getting blood out of a stoneThe city left you all aloneYou came to dance, but theres no poignancyWhen they all leave you standing aloneThe wider issues of the dayDont interest you, youll have to payFor looking at the floorWhen people talk to youYou wrote a book about yourselfThe people left it on the shelfYoull write another oneNow youve got a story thats worth talking aboutAre you happy with yourself?Are you talking to yourself?Are you happy with yourself?Put the book back on the shelfI know the company you keepYoure on the sofa hidden deepWhile on the telly sid james speaksTo you like godYoure always looking for a signBut boy you blow it every timeYou hear a voice begin to speakYou ignore it and go softly to sleep
