1284. I can see your future - Belle & Sebastian

I saw you around
When you were young and free
How did I know?
Try, but I can't remember
How it began (back in the day)
Was there a plan? (Follow my way)
I'm living in the past.
You're making history
The road into town,
That's when it came to me
I'm not alone
I felt the world stop turning
Stop in your tracks (where could I go?)
Cover my back (let yourself show)
I took the long way home.
My feet are blistery
Listen up and make a deal
And I'll tell you what I see
And when the second hand
Hits the morning
You will hear me calling
Come to me
Come to me

Don't leave me behind,
Stuck in a memory
Caught on a line
Something that once you told me
Fortune and fate (look in the glass)
Please don't be late (let the day pass)
Watch and a world will form in the sand

Forward's the only way to go
You catch me up, I'll take it slow
I can see your future
There's nobody around
Forward's the only way to go
You catch me up, I'll take it slow
I can see your future
There's nobody around
Forward's the only way to go
You catch me up, I'll take it slow
I can see your future
There's nobody around
Forward's the only way to go
You catch me up, I'll take it slow
I can see your future
There's nobody around
Forward's the only way to go
You catch me up, I'll take it slow
I can see your future
There's nobody around
Forward's the only way to go
You catch me up, I'll take it slow
I can see your future
There's nobody around

1283. Get me away from here I'm dying - Belle & Sebastian

Ooh! Get me away from here I'm dying
Play me a song to set me free
Nobody writes them like they used to
So it may as well be me
Here on my own now after hours
Here on my own now on a bus
Think of it this way
You could either be successful or be us
With our winning smiles, and us
With our catchy tunes, and us
Now we're photogenic
You know, we don't stand a chance
Oh, I'll settle down with some old story
About a boy who's just like me
Thought there was love in everything and everyone
You're so naive!
After a while they always get it
They always reach a sorry end
Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then
With a winning smile, the boy
With naivety succeeds
At the final moment, I cried
I always cry at endings

Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all
From where I'm sitting, rain
Washing against the lonely tenement
Has set my mind to wander
Into the windows of my lovers
They never know unless I write
"This is no declaration, I just thought I'd let you know goodbye"
Said the hero in the story
"It is mightier than swords
I could kill you sure
But I could only make you cry with these words"
