poor boy

belle & sebastian

poor boy

i could never live up to your imagination

poor boy

i was a crush that killed

poor boy

i could never live up to your hallucination

poor boy

i was a crush that killed

i had a dream

that trouble always starts in someone's head

and dreams are real

when you're asleep you may as well be dead

i predicate

the last 10 years on figuring with me

after the war

in some strange city on a strangers

so you think i'd waste my life on this

to be your comfort when you needed me

lay the everlasting friendship

poor boy

i could never live up to your imagination

poor boy

i was a crush that killed

poor boy

i could never live up to your hallucination

poor boy

i was a crush that killed

we had a time

if we could have it back over again

i'd be a force

not so polite and not so delicate

i'd trot around

on velvet socks so i could not be felt

i was your fan

waiting for the day when this god will start to

talk to me

don't venerate me now

i'm not a golden calf to be adored

see my own big smile

my sweet skin

poor boy

i could never live up to your imagination

poor boy

i was a crush that killed

poor boy

i could never live up to your hallucination

poor boy

i was a crush that killed

if i carry you in my heart

will you ease the pain or make it harder

i know you like to let me know you're there

if the black clouds come

will you disappear

is there space in my life for you

will i see you tomorrow

or will i ride on

poor boy

i could never live up to your imagination

poor boy

i was a crush that killed

poor boy

i could never live up to your hallucination

poor boy

i was a crush that killed

i could never live up
