le pastie de la bourgeoisie
Singer: belle & sebastian
sunbeam shone
mousy girl on the end pew
you'd stay home
oh if only they let you
le pastie de la bourgeoisie
municipal pool
you're a junior life saver
but you're friends are all serious ravers
le pastie de la bourgeoisie
reading judy blume
but you came too soon
you're too tall
much too tall for a boyfriend
they run and hide
from your buck tooth and split ends
don't be scared
like the books you've read
you're the heroine
you'll be doing fine
wouldn't you like to get away?
bestowing the memory of good and evil
on the ones you left behind
the heartless swine
and you love like nobody around you
how you love
and a halo surrounds you
le pastie de la bourgeoisie
in the autumn cool
say cheerio to school
listen dear
i've been watching you lately
if i said all these things you would hate me
le pastie de la bourgeoisie
at the church bazaar
i nearly went too far
wouldn't you like to get away?
give yourself up to the allure of
catcher in the rye
the future's swathed in stars and stripes
wouldn't you like to get away?
kerouac's beckoning with open arms
and open roads of eucalyptus
westward bound
