Belle & Sebastian

Mary jo, living alone
Drinking tea, on her own
She wants, I donââ?¬â?¢t know what you want

Mary jo, living alone
Drinking gin with the telly's on
She wants

The night to follow day and back again
She doesnââ?¬â?¢t want to sleep
Well who could blame her if she wants?
The night to follow day and back again
She doesnââ?¬â?¢t want to sleep
Well who could blame her, if she sleeps?
Well who could blame her, if she sleeps?
Well who could blame her, if sheââ?¬â?¢s sleeping?

Mary Jo, back with yourself
For company, keep telling yourself youââ?¬â?¢re young
Itââ?¬â?¢ll happen soon

Mary Jo, no one can guess
What youââ?¬â?¢ve been through
Now youââ?¬â?¢ve got love to burn

Itââ?¬â?¢s someone elseââ?¬â?¢s turn to go through hell
Now you can see them come from fifty yards
Yeah you can tell
Itââ?¬â?¢s someone elseââ?¬â?¢s turn to take a fall
And now you are the one whoââ?¬â?¢s strong enough to help them
The one whoââ?¬â?¢s strong enough to help them
The one whoââ?¬â?¢s strong enough to help them all

Mary Jo, youââ?¬â?¢re looking thin
Youââ?¬â?¢re reading a book, the state I am in
But oh, it doesnââ?¬â?¢t help at all
'Cause what you want is a cigarette
And a thespian with a caravanette in hull

Your life is never dull in your dreams
A pity that it never seems to work the way you see it
Life is never dull in your head
A sorry tale of action and the men you left for
Women, and the men you left for
Intrigue, and the men you left for dead
