Belle & Sebastian - Marx And Engels Lyrics

I'm so tired .Yong people can't understand

let's have a communist tea party and make it just a tea party of listening to belle and seb and learning how to love and care for each others more

There's misery in all I hear and see
From the people on TV
After their tea when life begins again
They'll be happier than me

There are a thousand meals being made on Saturday
From the view I saw today
I took a bet inside the launderette
With a girl from Wallasey

She spoke in dialect I could not understand
But one thing that she made clear
There was no coming on to her
There was no way

There's misery in all I hear and see
From people on TV
After their tea when life begins again
They'll be happier than me

There are a thousand meals being made on Saturday
From the view I saw today
I took a bet inside the launderette
With a girl from Wallasey

She spoke in dialect I could not understand
But one thing that she made clear
There was no coming on to her
There was no intellect
That she could respect
If it couldn't see
That the girl just wants to be
Left alone with Marx and Engels for a while
She's writing in the style
Of any riot girl

Background female vocals:
"The bourgeois, historically, has played a revolutionary part to end all feudal idyllic relationships. It has destroyed personal worth and, in place of freedom, is exploitation for profit alone. There is a spectre of the past in my bold assertion; we could learn much from the past."

Love the piano at the end.

Nice tune.

Melody sounds a lot like Nobody's Empire. Lovely song though.

it certainly does

It's the other way round; Nobody's Empire's piano line sounds a lot like this (it came first). Both great songs whatever.

“El medio forma parte de la verdad, tanto como el resultado. Es preciso que la búsqueda de la verdad sea a su vez verdadera; la búsqueda verdadera es la verdad desplegada, cuyos miembros dispersos se reúnen en el resultado.”


- Karl Marx
