A Bit Of Previous lyrics - Belle & Sebastian

 I want to climb inside a work of art

I want to get away from all your comments that are barbed

Just because you're getting older

Doesn't mean you're getting clever

Just because you've got the high ground

Doesn't mean you're at the fairground

And just because you're ground down to a halt

It doesn't mean you have to throw the stone you always hold

Just because you're getting older

Doesn't mean you're getting wiser

Just because you've got the high ground

Doesn't mean you have the most fun

I want to hide inside a piece of you

(I want to hide inside a piece of you)

In the longest run I am your mother and your child

Beaten by the force that assails you

Your so-called friends have surely failed you

Some come back from the edge of crazy

And come back to the edge of envy

God Help The Girl lyrics - Belle & Sebastian

 (from "God Help The Girl" soundtrack)

There is no way I'm looking for a boyfriend

There is no way I'm looking for a scene

I need to save some dough

I'm a working girl, you know

I'll fend attention off I keep to myself

I love my room, I'm getting used to sleeping

Some nights I really like to lie awake

I hear the midnight birds

The message in their words

The dawn will touch me in a way a boy could never touch

Their promise never meant so much to me

You have been warned, I'm born to be contrary

Backward at school, I wrote from right to left

Teacher never cared for me

Preacher said a prayer for me

God help the girl, she needs all the help she can get

I sit for hours just waiting for his phone call

I'll leave the chocolate hidden in the fridge

I'll play his messages

Analyze his intonation

Please stop me there, I'm even boring myself

I think of him when I'm doing the dishes

I think of him while looking in the sink

This ain't no play on words

My love for him is absurd

If he gave me a sign I'd think about it for a week

I'd build it up and then I'd turn him down

You have been warned, I'm born to be contrary

Backward at school, I wrote from right to left

Teacher never cared for me

Preacher said a prayer for me

God help the girl, she needs all the help she can get

Paper Boat lyrics - Belle & Sebastian

 I think it's going to be all right

I think it's going to be just fine

I think it's going to get much better than before

I think we're going to see the sun

I think we're going to have some fun,

I think we're going walk out through the open door

And maybe when we wake up in the morning

Maybe when the darkness starts to fade

Maybe in a paper boat we'll both just float away

Underneath the river trees

Off towards a lazy sea

Underneath the bridge that carries people home

Past the church where Jesus saves

Up and down upon the waves

Sailing off towards adventures of our own

Maybe when we wake up in the morning,

Maybe when the darkness starts to fade

Maybe in a paper boat we'll both just float away

Maybe when we wake up in the morning,

Maybe when the trumpet starts to play

Maybe in a paper boat we'll both just float away

I think it's going to be good fun

Protecting The Hive lyrics - Belle & Sebastian

 Strangely my dreams just seem to get farther out

The more we stay in the one room, my sleep wants to shout

About my lovers and others and my friends from the past

When the world was a party, we all had a blast

It's hard to escape the coming feeling of dread

The streets are still full of people, they're worried to death

I work on a paper and I read on the wires

They're making plans for disaster, the leadership lies

I only believe what I can see with my eyes

And I never understood why people pray when they die

I never understood the desperation feeling till now

Coming round to the idea, I'm taking a vow

I'm here in my teenage bedroom staring at flowers

That he bought at the weekend when the weekend was ours

Now the colours are fading like it's 1944

I'm waiting for my fiancé to come back from the war

I only believe what I can see with my eyes

I never understood why people pray when they die

I never understood the desperation feeling till now

Coming round to the idea, I'm taking a vow

The dress I wanna wear tonight hangs lonely on a hook

And the only excitement is my paperback book

I thought I loved him and the absence makes me randy as hell

But then it could be illusion, I'm stuck down a well

I only believe what I can see with my eyes

And I never understood why people pray when they die

I never understood the desperation feeling till now

Coming round to the idea, I'm taking a vow

It feels like everything tonight has come to an end

The lonely blackbirds are singing, I'm missing my friends

I'm making cup cakes and waiting for my soldier to survive

We're in a war of submission protecting the hive

I only believe what I can see with my eyes

And I never understood why people pray when they die

I never understood the desperation feeling till now

Sign me up for conversion, I'm taking a vow

Sometimes lyrics - Belle & Sebastian

 Sometimes you are the lonely one

Sometimes your heart is so tired

Sometimes the people abandon you

It's hard to be here when the people don't care

Like they used to care

Sometimes you feel a wall of hate

Like smoke it clings to your soul

Don't look, don't look, don't look in the crystal ball

If you look when you're scared

Then you're sure to find something to be scared of

Sometimes conditions are crowding you out

You've got no strength to compete

Be calm, be calm, go to your secret place

Find some hope in the morning, some life in the void

Hope in the morning, some life in the void

Hope in the morning, some life in the voices you hear

Sometimes (Sometimes) you catch a stranger's eye

Sometimes you give them your love

Your seed, your seed is falling on rocky ground

Love the ones in your life even though it is hard

Love the ones in your life even though it is hard

Love the ones in your life even though it is hard

They are there for you

You Can Do It If You Try lyrics - Belle & Sebastian

 (from "Yo Gabba Gabba!" soundtrack)

When things seem very hard

Don't hang up your hat

You'll get through it if you try

When the finish line seems far away

Keep on running to it

You'll get there if only you don't give up

Well, we're behind you all the way

You've got friends in us

If you're not winning, don't lose heart

Because what matters is taking part

You can do it if you try

You can do it if you try

You can do it if you really try-y

Uh-eye-eye

You can do it (you can do it) if you try

You can do it (you can do it) if you try

You can do it if you really try-y

Uh-eye-eye

You can do it if you really try
