act of the apostle ii

Belle & Sebastian

Iââ?¬â?¢m going to a seminar!

Iââ?¬â?¢m a genius
A prodigy
A demon at Maths and Science
Iââ?¬â?¢m up for a prize
If you gotta grow up sometime
Youââ?¬â?¢ve to do it on your own
I donââ?¬â?¢t think I could stand to be stuck
Thatââ?¬â?¢s the way that things were going

The bibleââ?¬â?¢s my tool
Thereââ?¬â?¢s no mention of school!
My Damascan Roadââ?¬â?¢s my transistor radio
I tune in at night when my mum and my dad start to fight
I put on my headphones
And I tune out
I am devout
The girls are singing about my life
But theyââ?¬â?¢re not here, theyââ?¬â?¢ve got the wild life


If you want to find out, find out
You got to look them in the eye
Thatââ?¬â?¢s why my only choice
Is find the face behind the voiceââ?¬¦.


She asked the man if the service was open
ââ?¬Å?Not today, just the choir from the radioââ?¬
ââ?¬Å?Couldnââ?¬â?¢t I sit in? Iââ?¬â?¢ve come all this wayââ?¬
ââ?¬Å?Will you bugger off, Iââ?¬â?¢ve got work to do.ââ?¬

The city was losing its appeal
God was asleep
He was back in her village, in the fields

ââ?¬Å?Oh, if I could make sense of it all!
I wish that I could sing
Iââ?¬â?¢d stay in a melody
I would float along in my everlasting song
What would I do to believe?ââ?¬
