this song was originally release by belle and sebastian on their album "fold your hands child, you walk like a peasant." i absolutely love the whole album and i highly recommend it!
lyrics
i could hang about and burn my fingers
i've been waiting out here waiting for something to start
you think i'm thoughtless to a t
my manners set impeccably
but underneath i am the same as you
i could dance all night like i'm a soul boy
but you know i'd rather drag myself across the dance floor
i feel like dancing on my own
where know one knows me and where i
can cause offense just by the way i look
and when i come to blows
when i am numbering my foes
just hope that you are on my side my dear
but it's best to finish as i started
with my face head down
staring at the brown formica
it's safer not to look around
i can't hide my feelings from you now
there's too much love to go around these days
you say i've got another face
that's not a fault of mine these days
i'm brutal honest and afraid of you
it's safer not to look around
i can't hide my feelings from you now
i'm brutal honest and afraid of you
you say i've got another face
that's not a fault of mine these days
i'm brutal honest and afraid of you
