we were beautiful - belle and sebastian lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i was blank as i could be, hearing voices telling me, “walk away from everything”
oh i wasn’t meant to go, far away from those i know, to some desolate below

[verse 2]
we were in the urban scene, where they grind the coffee bean, where the women are oblique
and the boys are paper thin, ragged beards upon their chin, we were on the outside looking in
rise above the present day, rise above the popular melee
i see you the way you are, i see you the scar[?]

[chorus]
we were beautiful before this went down
we were beautiful before the years came, turned it upside down
we were beautiful before we got wise
we were beautiful with sky and blanket laying low

[verse 3]
i am hanging on the line, i’m on duty all the time, i am your samaritan on call
i could try my best to heal, all the emptiness you feel, in the giving i will be a light[?}

[verse 4]
we were wrapped around our roots, nothing on except our boots, we were intimate around the waist
we were settling our scores, we were healing over sores, we were living out the pleasure that we lost

[chorus]
we were beautiful before this went down
we were beautiful before the years came, turned it upside down
we were beautiful for all time and sp-ce
i will tell it to the sun and i will tell it to…

[verse 5]
if you listen to the night, we can heard the madmen fight, hear the foxes making out
but the people all immune, sleeping silent in their rooms, growing bodies with their sleep
making plans inside their heads, making love to shallow friends

[chorus]
we were beautiful before this went down
we were beautiful before the years came, turned it upside down
we were beautiful before we got wise
we were beautiful with sky and blanket fueling up[?}

[chorus]
we were beautiful before this went down
we were beautiful before the years came, turned it upside down
we were beautiful for all time and sp-ce
i will tell it to the sun and i will tell it to your face
