Belle & Sebastian - Mornington Crescent Lyrics






Mornington Crescent
I think of you
Rain in the southeast
Men feeling blue
Men with their bowlers
Kids with their spats
Ladies with chauffeurs
Dogs wearing hats and jackets
Rich apartments
Old punk posters
Tartan garments
I love the exquisite array
I love the camp as camp parade
The possibilities suggest themselves to me
I'm feeling free

Mornington Crescent
The sun in the east
I've got a job on
For a Senegalese rich arbitrator
In African law
To paint his apartment, strip down the walls
Came down between us lately
Lust and want and need just caved in
'Is it wise?'
The answer's no
It never is but since you ask
We pause thoughtfully, for twenty seconds reprieve
Then it's off with the briefs

Mornington Crescent
Sin is my game
We'll all be lined up
Irrelevant fame
Next to the broker, the nurse and the drunk
I was a joker, the wannabe punk that got lucky
Had a good time
Life became fruitless
Egotistic swine to all your friends
All the ladies and the men
The possibilities suggest themselves to me
We're a little too free

    I agree. Should be more comments for this gem

    A.... O....

    I agree that there should be more comments but at the same time, better no comments than comments like "Such and such shitty TV series brought me here".

    A.... O....

    @Brian ffs will you leave the telly people alone? It brings money and fans to good artists, is that not a good thing?

    A.... O....

    @F E Not if they have no understanding or appreciation for the artist. Good music is not meant to just be the soundtrack for some spotty virgin millennial asswipe's boxset while he is waiting for his balls to drop.
