Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister Lyrics






Anthony walked to his death because he thought he'd never feel this way again
If he goes back to the house then things would go from bad to worse, what could he do?
He wants to remember things exactly as he left them on that Wednesday
And if there is something else beyond, he isn't scared because
It's bound to be less boring than today
It's bound to be less boring than tomorrow
Hilary walked to her death because she couldn't think of anything to say
Everybody thought that she was boring, so they never listened anyway
Nobody was really saying anything of interest, she fell asleep She was into S&M and bible studies
Not everyone's cup of tea she would admit to me
Her cup of tea, she would admit to no one
Her cup of tea, she would admit to me
Oh but her cup of tea, she would admit to no one

Hilary went to the Catholic Church because she wanted information
The vicar, or whatever, took her to one side and gave her confirmation
Saint Theresa's calling her, the church up on the hill is looking lovely
But it doesn't interest, the only things she wants to know is How and why and when and where to go
How and why and when and where to follow
How and why and when and where to go
How and why and when and where to follow

But if you are feeling sinister
Go off and see a minister
He'll try in vain to take away the pain of being a hopeless unbeliever

When she got back, her spirituality was thrown into confusion
So she got a special deal on renting
From the man at Rediffusion
"Look at me! I'm on TV
It makes up for the shortcomings of being poor
Now I'm in a million pieces", picked up for deliberation
By the people listening at home
By the people watching on the telly
By the people listening at home
By the people watching on the telly

But if you are feeling sinister
Go off and see a minister
Chances are you'll probably feel better
If you stayed and played with yourself

    Album de 1996 belo pop escoces

  2. A.... ....

    Make a new cult every day to suit your affairs
    Kissing girls in English at the back of the stairs
    You're a honey with a following of innocent boys
    They never know it
    Because you never show it
    You always get your way
    They never know it
    Because you never show it
    You always get your way

    Have you and her been taking pictures of your obsessions?
    'Cause I met a boy who went through one of your sessions
    In his blue velour and silk
    You liberated
    A boy I never rated
    And now he's throwing discus
    For Liverpool and Widnes
    You liberated
    A boy I never rated
    And now he's doing business

    The stars of track and field, you are
    The stars of track and field, you are
    The stars of track and field are beautiful people

    Could I write a piece about you now that you've made it?
    About the hours spent, the wilderness in your training
    You only did it so that you could wear
    Terry underwear
    And feel the city air
    Run past your body
    Your terry underwear
    And feel the city air
    Run past your body

    Could I write a requiem for you when you're dead?
    "She had the moves, she had the speed, it went to her head"
    She never needed anyone to get her round the track
    But when she's on her back
    She had the knowledge
    To get her into college
    But when she's on her back
    She had the knowledge
    To get her where she wanted

    The stars of track and field, you are
    The stars of track and field, you are
    The stars of track and field are beautiful people

    The stars of track and field, you are
    The stars of track and field, you are
    The stars of track and field are beautiful people

    The stars of track and field, you are
    The stars of track and field, you are
    The stars of track and field are beautiful people

    The stars of track and field, you are
    The stars of track and field, you are
    The stars of track and field are beautiful people
