Song title: Belle And Sebastian - Stay Loose

Edit By: 216.73.216.150

I was choking on a cornflake
You said Have some toast instead
I was sleeping maybe three hours
You said You should get to bed
I was waiting at the church door
For the minister to show
I was looking at the new year
You said Walk before you crawl
I was feeling like a loser
You said Hey, youve still got me
I was feeling pretty lonely
You said You wanted to be free
I was looking for a good time
You said Let the good times start
With a quiver of your eyelid
You took on someone elses part
Maybe Im a little greedy
You said Think before you speak
Sometimes Im a little seedy
You said Everyone is weak
Now I feel a little better
Is there something I can do?
But I never heard the answer
I never had a clue
But what about me
I dont really see
How things will improve
If all you want is to stay loose
Theres a little echo calling
Like a miner trapped inside
If I tell her of this moment
She will in me doubts confide
And shes on me like a blanket
Like a stalk of wilting grass
Im not sure about her motives
Im not sure about her past
But my faith is like a bullet
My belief is like a bolt
The only thing that lets me sleep at night
A little carriage of the soul
If it starts a little bleaker
Then the year may yet be gold
Happiness is not for keeping
Happiness is not my goal
But what about me
I dont really see
How things will improve
If all you want is to stay loose
But what about them
You play mother hen
To a gaggle of gangling youth
All you want is to stay loose
I was living through the seconds
My composure was a mess
I was miles from tenderness
It was dark outside, the day it was lying in pieces
Everything is flat and dreary
I couldnt care whats in the news
Television is the blues
Television is hysterical laughter of people
And I know it could be me
Im always asking for more
I keep running round in circles
I keep looking for a doorway
Im going to need two lives
To follow the paths Ive been taking
