Lirik
[Verse 1]
Sebastian, you're in a mess
You had a dream, they called you
King of all the hipsters, is it true
Or are you still the queen?
[Verse 2]
Like getting blood out of a stone
The city left you lost and gone
You came to dance, but there's no poignancy
When they all leave you standing alone
Standing alone
[Verse 3]
The wider issues of the day
Just pass you by, you're gonna pay
For looking at the floor
When people talk to you
[Verse 4]
You wrote a book about yourself
The people left it on the shelf
You'll write another one
Now you've got a story that's worth talking about
Talking about
Talking about
[Verse 5]
Are you happy with yourself?
Are you talking to yourself?
Are you happy with yourself?
Put the book back on the shelf
[Verse 6]
I've seen the company you keep
You're on the sofa, hidden deep
While on the telly
Sid James speaks to you like God
[Verse 7]
You're always looking for a sign
But, boy, you blow it every time
You hear a voice begin to speak
You ignore it and go softly to sleep
Softly to sleep
Softly to sleep
[Verse 8]
Are you happy with yourself?
Are you happy with yourself?
Are you happy with yourself?
Are you happy with yourself?
[Verse 9]
Put the book back on the shelf
Put the book back on the shelf
Put the book back on the shelf
Put the book back on the shelf
[Verse 10]
Belle and Sebastian
On the radio
Playing songs for children
Belle and Sebastian
On the radio
Playing songs to others here
[Verse 11]
Belle and Sebastian
On the radio
Playing songs for children
Belle and Sebastian
On the radio
Playing songs to lovers here
[Verse 12]
Belle and Sebastian
On the radio
And we're really sorry
For all the trouble we've caused
And all the trouble we've caused
La, la, la, la
[Verse 13]
Belle and Sebastian
On the radio
Playing songs for children
Playing songs for children
Playing songs for children
