family tree

Belle & Sebastian

Iââ?¬â?¢ve been feeling down
Iââ?¬â?¢ve been looking round the town
For somebody just like me
But the only ones I see
Are the dummies in the window
They spend their money on clothes
It saddens me to think
That the only ones I see are mannequins
Looking stupid, being used and being thin
And I donââ?¬â?¢t know why I hang around with them

The way they act, Iââ?¬â?¢d rather be fat than be confused
The way they act, Iââ?¬â?¢d rather be fat than be confused
Than be me in a cage
With a bottle of rage
And a family like the mafia

Iââ?¬â?¢ve been feeling blue
And I donââ?¬â?¢t know what to do
And I never get a thrill
And they threw me out of school
ââ?¬â?¢cause I swore at all the teachers
Because they never teach us
A thing I want to know
We do chemistry, biology and maths
I want poetry and music and some laughs
And I donââ?¬â?¢t think itââ?¬â?¢s an awful lot to ask

So wonââ?¬â?¢t you please get up off your knees, and let me go
So wonââ?¬â?¢t you please get up off your knees, and let me go
Cause Iââ?¬â?¢m here in a cage
With a bottle of rage
And a family like the mafia

If my family tree goes back to the romans
Then I will change my name to jones
If my family tree goes back to napolean
Then I will change my name to smith
If my family tree goes back to the romans
Then I will change my name to jones
If youââ?¬â?¢re looking at me to be an accountant
Then you will look but you will never see
If youââ?¬â?¢re looking at me to start having babies
Then you can wish because Iââ?¬â?¢m not here to fool around
You can wish because Iââ?¬â?¢m not here to fool around
You can wish because Iââ?¬â?¢m not here to fool around
