Play For Today - Belle and Sebastian

Stuart：I'm in a play written today about a boy

Who hides in attics when the sun is up

Everyone is at work

What will I do

Where will I go

Show me the way

The truth the anger show me rules of thumb

Show the way to grow old

Love is a guide

The endless river of the soul

But we are mean

The dried up riverbeds of rock and stone

Lust is my friend

She comes to me when I am tired

Life is a rope death is a myth

Love is a fraud it's misunderstood

Work is a sentence family's a drag

This house is a trap

Dee Dee：I'm in a play written today about a girl

She gets on perfectly with young and old

Everybody loves her

What would she wear the cut of her hair

The way that she slides

Gracefully into the working week

She hides her baggage inside

She's got a friend

An ugly monster that will eat your face

She hides her crime

A hefty catalogue of wasted time

She's got a friend

A lonely monster that will prey on you

Life is a secret death is a myth

Love is a fraud it's misunderstood

Work is a sentence family's a drag

This house is a trap

Life is a secret death is a myth

Love is a fraud it's misunderstood

Work is a sentence family's a drag

This house is a trap

Stuart：I'm in a play written today about a boy

Tired and melancholy takes the weight

Takes the weight of the world

Dee Dee：I walked alone loving a song

Walking the earth

The worn-out sister who is twenty-three

Dried and wrinkled alone

I'll give you a month

To see past shadows in your sacred night

I'll give you a week

To look Medusa in the eye

I'll give you a month

To notice heaven in the sight of stage

Dee Dee：You're king inside your head

You're sitting on the throne of sand

You're pushing back the tide

Stuart：So lift the mountain up

So tie the writer's ribbons down

Assemble all your troops

Both：We go to war with metaphors

And suddenly see sense

And suddenly see sense

And when you do I'll have the higher ground
I'll have the higher ground

You're not the king of me

Stuart：I'll take my chance and play for tyranny

I build the sets I light the scene

We're prettier when we are on the screen
Both：I build the sets I light the scene

We're braver when we're on the sacred screen

The backstage of your life

Is filled with props and lines you should have sung

The backstage of your life

Is filled with echoes of the ones you love
