Is It Wicked Not To Care

Belle And Sebastian

Is it wicked not to care when they say that you're mistaken


Thinking hopes and lots of dreams that aren't there?


Is it wicked not to care when you've wasted many hours


Talking endlessly to anyone that's there?





I know the truth awaits me


But still I hesitate because of fear





Skipping tickets making rhymes


Is that all that you believe in?


Wearing rags to make you pretty by design


Rusting armour for effect


It's not fun to watch the rust grow


For it will all be over when you're dead





Counting acts and clutching thoughts


By the river where the moss grows


Over rocks the water running all the time


Is it wicked when you smile Even though you feel like crying


Even though you could be sick at any time?





But if there was a sequel


Would you love me as an equal?


Would you love me till I'm dead





Instrumental





If there was a sequel Would you love me like an equal?


Would you love me till I'm dead


And if there was a sequel


Would you love me as an equal?


Would you love me till I'm dead


Or is there someone else instead?
