Le Pastie De La Bourgeoisie

Belle And Sebastian

Sunbeam shone, mousy girl on the end pew


You'd stay home, oh if only they let you


Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie





Municipal pool, you're a junior life saver


But you're friends are all serious ravers


Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie


Reading Judy Blume


But you came too soon





You're too tall, much too tall for a boyfriend


They run and hide, from your buck tooth and split ends


Don't be scared, like the books you've read


You're the heroine


You'll be doing fine





Wouldn't you like to get away?


Bestowing the memory of good and evil


On the ones you left behind


The heartless swine





And you love like nobody around you


How you love, and a halo surrounds you


Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie


In the Autumn cool


Say cheerio to school





Listen Dear, I've been watching you lately


If I said all these things you would hate me


Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie


At the church bazaar


I nearly went too far





Wouldn't you like to get away?


Give yourself up to the allure of


Catcher In The Rye


The future's swathed in Stars and Stripes





Wouldn't you like to get away?


Kerouac's beckoning with open arms,


And open roads of eucalyptus


Westward bound
