woman s realm

Belle & Sebastian

Womanââ?¬â?¢s realm

I donââ?¬â?¢t care whether you hear this
I donââ?¬â?¢t care if Iââ?¬â?¢m alone here singing songs to myself
Thereââ?¬â?¢s nobody else around, around
Meet you up at the indian part of the town
The townââ?¬â?¢s shut down, the people left with their bags
Their kids so thereââ?¬â?¢s not a sound a sound

But I must get from there to here
Thereââ?¬â?¢s a small voice crying on the other side of the river from here
Itââ?¬â?¢s too late to phone her now
What went wrong, your grades were good
It would take a left wing robin hood to pay for school
Your dadââ?¬â?¢s a boozer and you keep him alive

Just a minute close your eyes
If we settle for this compromise Iââ?¬â?¢ll stay with you
The river looks so good tonight
I donââ?¬â?¢t know whatââ?¬â?¢s with your friend
She met a boy and at the summerââ?¬â?¢s end
She said sheââ?¬â?¢d had enough of playing games

I donââ?¬â?¢t care cause Iââ?¬â?¢m by myself
All the dancers left but I canââ?¬â?¢t dance
So I will stay and clean the mess they left behind
But I dream as I set to scrub all the floors, the walls
Iââ?¬â?¢m thinking of a song or two, a boy a girl and a rendezvous

Are you coming or are you not?
There is nothing that would sort you out
Thereââ?¬â?¢s nothing I could say or do
Youââ?¬â?¢re going to crash, Iââ?¬â?¢ll set the bails in front of you
Are you coming or are you not?
There is nothing that would sort you out
An interesting way of life
Deny yourself the benefits of being alive

You slept better in a sleeping train in a shed in a station
With a torch and a womanââ?¬â?¢s realm to keep you warm
To keep you company
You slept better in a sleeping train in a shed in a station
With a torch and a womanââ?¬â?¢s realm to keep you company tonight
