A Century Of Fakers

Belle And Sebastian

There are people going hungry every day


They've got nothing on their plates


And you're filling your fat face with every different kind of cake


And if you ever go lardy, or go lame


I will drop you straight away


That's the price you have to pay


For every stupid thing you say





There are people going lonely, and they'll stay


Lonely fay into the year


Because you're making blinkers fashionable


And fashionably you'll say


"All is equal in love and war" and


"I'm sorry, but I've got some things to do"


And you pretend to read a book you'll never finish till the day





That the author dedicates it


To A Century Of Fakers


They took your mould and they burned it on the fire in history today


Yeah, the author dedicates it


To A Century Of Fakers


He was an anarchist, he tried his best but it wasn't good enough





Did I say I would see you soon?


Well I'm sorry, but i just came off my bike


And my face is scarred


And chance has barred me seeing you tonight


I was over the other side of the city


And if the truth be known I'd say


That you look great from there before you shaved your golden hair today





Everybody's trying to make us


Another century of fakers


They took you mould and burned it on the fire of history today


Everybody's trying to make us


Another cool decade of fakers


Another century of fakers
