Belle&Sebastian

Ahh Belle&Sebastian.... Merci.

I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me

To go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt very long

Before I would stand with another boy in front of me

And a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets floying round

.

And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on

And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady boy to wear

Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for

This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while

I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me

To go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt very long

Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me

Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before

.

And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on

And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wear

Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for

This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while

I fought in a war, and I didnt know where it would end

It stretched before me infinitely, I couldnt really think

Of the day beyond now, keep your head down pal

Theres trouble plenty in this hour, this day

I can see hope I can see light

I reminded myself of the looks you gave when we were getting on

And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wear

Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for

This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while

There....
